Hit Up These Wholesale Markets In Delhi For Great Bargains

Let’s start off with the largest wholesale market in Delhi. While it is a general market that serves a variety of things, it is most well-known for its massive supply of household items—plastic items like buckets, mugs, & dabbas for the kitchen, utensils, and cutlery and crockery items. There a number of smaller markets within the market—like Timber Market, for plywood and timber, and Swadeshi Market for artificial jewellery, gift items, toys for kids, etc.

Located in the eastern part of the city, Gandhi Nagar is known as one of the largest textile markets in Asia. There are about 12,000 shops selling all kinds of fabrics, garments, and trims and laces, all at throwaway prices.

This one’s the largest market for fruits and vegetables in all of Asia! There are more than 3,500 wholesalers in the area, which see thousands of trucks bringing fresh produce from all over the country (and sometimes the world) every day—so whether it’s orange pumpkins from Kolkata, pink strawberries or peaches from Mediterranean countries, you’ll find it all here.

Looking for not-so-easy-to-find avocados and zucchinis? You’ll get them here too, and all at about half the price you’d usually pay.

The ultimate spot for wedding vendors, retailers and florists, Ghazipur Mandi has any and every kind of flower you might be looking for. Coming in from Holland, China and other South East Asian countries, the lilies, marigolds, orchids, gerberas, and more here are top-notch. During festivals, the bundles of flowers are piled up high, and the trick is to walk deeper and deeper into the market for better deals.

The flowers sold here are at one-fourth of what you’ll find in regular stores and even cheaper when you buy in bulk. You can go there as early as 3am to bag the freshest of flowers possible.

We suggest you go with the final copy of what you want printed on the cards, because there’s a long line of customers at the printers’, who will then help you decide the font and style to go with the card you’ve selected.
