Ring Road textile complex near the flyover, part of the dense wholesale saree belt.
Shree Ram Textile Market is a Ring Road textile complex near the flyover in Salabatpura, Surat, Gujarat, India. It forms part of the dense wholesale saree belt that runs along Ring Road, where multi-storey buildings house hundreds of small traders dealing in sarees, dress material and fabrics. The complex shares its surroundings with other large markets such as Millennium Textile Market, so the area works as a single cluster in which buyers move on foot between buildings.
The goods on offer are overwhelmingly locally made. Surat is a major centre for synthetic and blended fabrics, and the shops here stock printed, embroidered and plain sarees as well as unstitched dress lengths for retailers across India. There is very little tourist-oriented merchandise, so the appeal lies in the range and the trade pricing rather than in souvenirs. Vendor quality varies, with some traders supplying fine embroidery work and others focusing on high-volume basic fabrics, so comparing a few shops and handling the cloth before buying is the most reliable approach.
The market is organised for wholesale buyers. Rates are quoted for lots, and single pieces are often available at a higher per-piece price. Negotiation is normal and expected, and prices fall more readily with larger quantities and cash payment. Cash and UPI are the usual payment methods, and card acceptance is patchy. No tourist tax-refund scheme applies, although a GST invoice can be requested.
The atmosphere is busy and practical, with porters, carts and buyers filling the corridors during weekday trading hours. Reported hours are roughly 10:00 to 20:00 Monday to Saturday, and visitors should confirm before going, since shops set their own timings and many close on Sunday. Food on site is limited to tea and snack vendors in and around the building, with more choice along Ring Road. The location near the flyover makes it easy to combine with Sahara Darwaja Market, which is known for embroidery work and ready salwar kameez, and with other complexes nearby.
