Tank Road initially was a place where export rejects in hosiery especially T-shirts could be found. Most of the dealers in Tank Road would buy consignment of stock from Tirupur or Panipat and sell it in Delhi. The buyers would be exporters looking at cheaper exports, domestic sellers of apparel, traders from Janpath and the like. Overtime, it has metamorphosised into the one stop shop for jeans in Delhi. It has a number of wholesalers and retailers. Many of them also export to neighbouring countries. It is a sourcing hub for traders or small time shopkeepers in Delhi and neighbouring cities. Even small importers from neighbouring countries make a visit to Tank Road. After Gandhi Nagar, it is another preferred sourcing market for jeans. What makes the market attractive is its location, near Karol Bagh and its easy accessibility. Being in a somewhat central place makes it attractive for buyers.
Timings – 10.30 am or so to 8 pm (Tuesday to Sunday). The market is closed on Mondays as Karol Bagh is also closed on Mondays.
