Sadar Bazaar, New Delhi

Sadar Bazaar in North Delhi is where the shoppers mean business. They are serious, focused on price points & determined to cut through the maze of traffic, obstacles & chaos. Not for the fainthearted nor weak-kneed folks, Sadar Bazaar is basically a wholesale market for just about everything you can think of, for your house.

Almost all the traders & retailers in North India flock to this Mecca of wholesale, to squeeze out the best price & make a little extra profit.

Profitable Location

Conveniently located at the end of Khari Baoli (spice market) & close to the trading hubs of Chandni Chowk, Karol Bagh & Bhagirath Market, Sadar Bazaar is where millions of rupees change hands every minute of the day & the atmosphere in the market is somewhat of a carnival. The main street & the by-lanes constantly flow with masses of humanity, much like a river & veterans of the market expertly find what they look for from hundreds of shops lining the streets of this market.

Traders, retailers & shopkeepers from Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh (UP), Bihar & as far away as Manipur & Sikkim arrive in this market, ready with the list of items to be purchased & exchange greetings with their suppliers of long years. Delhi residents, despite all the glitzy malls sprouting up everywhere, still have a lot of faith in the Bazaar. Housewives & senior citizens, the young & the old brave the crowd & shop for all kind of stuff for their daily household needs.

Diurnal Items

You can find practically everything here; from items such as plastic buckets, brooms, garbage bins, containers & lunch boxes for school-going kids to plastic chairs, dining tables, planters, mops, kitchen textiles, knives, chopping boards, bottle openers & ice-buckets. The list is endless. There are also things like glass bangles, hair accessories, eyeliners, mascara & makeup kits from Taiwan & Korea are also available here. 

Crockery & dinner sets together with cutlery, from the most basic to the exclusive & luxurious real gold rimmed teacups can satisfy even the most discerning buyer in Sadar Bazaar. One thing a wholesaler & shop-owner will never do is to turn away even the smallest order from a homemaker. The price for retail sale may be marginally higher, but a sale is rarely turned down. Compared to any other market in Delhi, the prices quoted at Sadar Bazaar make the trip worthwhile.

At times it seems a lot of bother to make the effort to go, what with the suffocating ambience, the push & pull of unruly crowds, but if you take it in your stride, it’s so-not-so bad after all, considering the neat saving made in your budget. 

All the Way From China

The cheapest & most fascinating merchandise comes from where else but China. From torches, scissors, stationery, firecrackers, electronic games & gizmos to furniture &  gifts - Chinese goods have flooded the market. The unbelievably low prices offered for China items can leave you dumbstruck, but beware, none of the traders will stick his neck out with guarantees.
