      town, east-central Gujarat (Gujarāt) state, west-central India. It is situated in the lowlands between the Sabarmati and Mahi rivers. The town existed as early as the 5th century CE. Early in the 18th century it passed to the Babi family but was taken by the Marathas in 1763 and handed over to the British in 1803. Kheda is now a trading centre for agricultural produce and has some light manufacturing industries. It lies along a major highway and along the Western Railway, 20 miles (32 km) south-southeast of Ahmadabad.

      The area in which Kheda is situated is mostly an unbroken plain that slopes gently toward the southwest and is drained by the Sabarmati and Mahi rivers. The chief crops are grains, pulses, and cotton. Industrial activities include printing, dyeing, and glass and cotton-textile manufacture. Kheda is particularly noted as a cooperative milk-producing centre. The highway and railroad networks in the region are well-developed. Pop. (2001) town, 24,136.
