Manufacturers in Delhi: what the practice actually looks like

Delhi's own manufacturing is mostly small-plot and increasingly squeezed by relocation orders, so what survives inside the city is light and space-efficient: garment fabrication around Okhla, auto and cycle spares in Wazirpur and Naraina, plastic moulding and electrical goods in Bawana and Narela, and the sprawling hardware and fastener trade around Chawri Bazar and Karol Bagh where a trader and a small unit are often the same person. Bhagirath Palace does lighting and electricals, Lajpat Rai Market the electronics. Many Delhi proprietors run a registered unit in a Bawana or Mundka industrial area while the buyer-facing office stays in the old-city market. Government supply is unusually important here — CPWD, MES, railways and GeM tenders pull small manufacturers into formal vendor registration far earlier than in other cities, which is what forces the shift from a personal number to a documented company identity.

Delhi runs on trade, government and professional services. Nehru Place is one of Asia’s best-known IT hardware markets, Okhla and Naraina hold a dense band of small manufacturing and printing units, and Connaught Place remains the address consultancies and law firms want on a letterhead. A very large share of the city’s businesses are family-run trading firms dealing with buyers across north India.

Delhi has one of the highest per-capita incomes among Indian states and an unusually service-heavy economy — trade, hotels, transport, communication and business services dominate over manufacturing. Government and PSU procurement anchors a whole ecosystem of vendors, contractors and consultants that lives on formal correspondence.
