The Gulf of Khambhat, also known as the Gulf of Cambay, is a bay on the Arabian Sea coast of India, bordering the state of Gujarat just north of Mumbai and Diu Island.[1] The Gulf of Khambhat is about Шаблон:Convert long, about Шаблон:Convert wide in the north and up to Шаблон:Convert wide in the south. Major rivers draining Gujarat are the Narmada, Tapti, Mahi and the Sabarmati, that form estuaries in the gulf.[2]

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

There are plans to construct a Шаблон:Convert dam, Kalpasar Project, across the gulf.[6]
