Delhi NCR: India's Biggest Market for All Product Categories

Delhi NCR isn't primarily a manufacturing centre, but it's India's largest commercial market — a hub where manufacturers from across North India display their products, find buyers, and handle export logistics. For importers, Delhi is often the starting point.

Key Markets

• **State Emporium Complex** (Bhairon Marg): Government-run emporiums from every Indian state — excellent for discovering products from different regions

• **Dilli Haat**: Handicraft market with products from artisans across India

• **Karol Bagh**: Textiles, fabrics, and home furnishings wholesale

• **Chandni Chowk**: Traditional market — fabrics, jewellery, spices, hardware

• **Okhla Industrial Area**: Manufacturing and export offices

Why Delhi Matters

Delhi NCR has: the country's main international airport (ideal for visiting), established export and freight forwarding infrastructure, trade association offices, and representatives from manufacturers across India. Many factories from Moradabad, Saharanpur, Agra, and Rajasthan have sales offices in Delhi.

Using Delhi as a Base

Many importers use Delhi as a base for sourcing trips — flying into Delhi, then taking day trips or overnight trips to manufacturing centres across North India. The road and rail connections from Delhi to Moradabad, Agra, Saharanpur, and Rajasthan are excellent.
