Karol Bagh

October 16, 2019 By Admin Leave a Comment

If there is any market which carries the mixed identity of wholesale and high-end retail, then no market fits the portrait as well as Karol Bagh. Known widely for its grey markets of electronic products (chiefly mobile phones), wholesale, export surplus and high-end clothing markets, jewelry shops, hotels and restaurants, call centers, toys and wide variety of other products.

Historically, Karol Bagh was settled by people who were removed from the villages of Madhoganj, Jaisingh Pura and Raja Ka Bazaar for the purpose of building Connaught Place. The Muslims living in this region migrated to Pakistan in large numbers and the place was occupied by immigrants from Sindh and West Punjab.

Administratively, it lies in the Central Delhi District.

Gaffar Market is one of the best known local sub-markets of Karol Bagh which has been named after the popular Pashtun freedom fighter, Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan. This market known for electronic consumer products being available at discounted prices.
