Today's Vasai Taluka has rapidly changed since the
1980's due to the large influx of people flooding in because of
availability of more affordable housing than in mumbai (bombay).
Vasai was known as Baçaim (Bassein) and had various other names during
the course of history. The most significant past in Vasai's history is
the rein of the Portuguese, since they largely influenced or changed to
what Vasai Taluka is today. |

 Another thing that makes
Vasai a place of special significance is its self-sufficiency. Food
products like fresh green leafy vegetables, juicy fruits, fish, milk,
etc. are available in abundance. As a matter of fact, Vasai also caters
to the requirements of Mumbai City and its suburban centres for
their increasing requirements of natural foods. Easy availability of
residential and industrial premises at an affordable price. Rich natural
resources, easy availability of space, availability of skilled labour,
proximity to business centre like Mumbai, are a few reasons why Vasai
has attracted a number of enterpreneurs and businessmen towards itself.
It can today boast more than 1000 industrial establishments.
