Demographics
In the 2011 census, the village of Naliya had 11,415 inhabitants for a gender ratio of 939 females per thousand males.[5]
Indian Air Force Station
Naliya is home to the Naliya Air Force Station of the Indian Air Force, which was built here in view of the town's proximity to Pakistan.[6]
Transport
Naliya is on National Highway 41. The town had a railway line laid in 1980 to get connected town with Bhuj. The line was abandoned later since Gandhidham-Bhuj section was converted to broad-gauge and this 101.52 kilometres (63.08 mi) line became isolated. This line is no longer used for public, military or freight purpose. Recently, gauge conversion to broad gauge has been approved by the Government of India. Work of gauge conversion to broad gauge is completed up till Desalpur, 56.25 kilometres (34.95 mi) from Bhuj. The work in remaining 39.15 kilometres (24.33 mi) is in Progress. The Naliya Cantonment will be the rail station for Naliya Town once gauge conversion is completed. Due to security reason the 6.12 kilometres (3.80 mi) railway line stretch between Naliya Cantonment & Naliya Town will not be made since Naliya is situated just 25.98 kilometres (16.14 mi) from India-Pakistan border of Sir Creek Marshlands.
