TheGulf of Khambhat (Gujarati:[kʰəmbʱat̪]), also known as theGulf of Cambay, is a bay on theArabian Sea coast ofIndia, bordering the state ofGujarat, just north ofMumbai and theDiu Island.[1] The Gulf of Khambhat is about 200 km (120 mi) long, about 20 km (12 mi) wide in the north and up to 70 km (43 mi) wide in the south. Major rivers draining Gujarat are theNarmada,Tapti,Mahi and theSabarmati, that formestuaries in the gulf.[2]

It divides theKathiawar Peninsula from the south-eastern part of Gujarat.[3][4][5]

There are plans to construct a 30-kilometre (19 mi) dam,Kalpasar Project, across the gulf.[6]
