A pair of wholesale cloth markets near Kalupur where Ahmedabad's textile trade sells sarees, suit lengths and readymade garments.
Sindhi Market and Maskati Market form part of the old textile district clustered around Kalupur, Dhalgarwad and Ratan Pol, where Ahmedabad's mill-era cloth trade lives on in multi-storey wholesale markets. Sarees, salwar-kameez fabric, shirt pieces and readymade garments are sold in volume at wholesale margins, and Gujarati families buy wedding trousseau in bulk here. For visitors, the markets suit buying a few pieces of dress fabric or ready-made kurtas at prices lower than CG Road. The buildings are old and crowded. Retailing to individuals is accepted at most shops, though discounts depend on quantity. Sunday is the weekly closure.
