Wholesale garments for Chandigarh retailers

As a wholesale garments supplier for Chandigarh retailers, we buy readymade lots in Gandhi Nagar, East Delhi’s garment wholesale market, for shops across Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula. You approve a sample, we check the lot against it, and your transporter carries it north.

Tri-city shopkeepers have long driven to Delhi’s markets to buy, and many still do. This page is for those who would rather spend the days behind the counter: what to buy from Delhi, when to brief it, and how the paperwork runs.

What tri-city retailers buy from Delhi

Tri-city retailers buy from Delhi the lines their own region does not make in depth: kurtis and kurta sets, denim and bottoms, men’s shirts and T-shirts, and kidswear. Knitwear and woollens are another matter, because Ludhiana’s hosiery trade is close by.

That split shapes a Chandigarh shop’s buying year. Sweaters, shawls and thermals come from the Punjab belt; the woven, ethnic and children’s lines around them come from a market like Gandhi Nagar, where garments trade by the lot and the range turns week by week.

The tri-city is also three markets. A shop in one of Chandigarh’s sector markets, a boutique in Mohali and a family store in Panchkula sell to different customers, so we ask each for its own size ratio and colour split rather than a market set.

Office and campus lines for a capital city

Chandigarh is the capital of both Punjab and Haryana, and its government offices, courts and colleges give tri-city shops a steady trade that does not follow the festivals: formal shirts and trousers for office-goers, and denim, T-shirts and casual shirts for students.

Those lines reward a fixed specification. A formal shirt bought for an office customer should come back next season in the same collar, fit and shade, so we write the fabric, measurements and shade reference into the record and brief every repeat against it.

Campus demand follows the academic year rather than the weather. New students arrive in July and August, so denim, T-shirts and casual shirts for them belong on the shelf before admissions, with a size ratio weighted to younger customers.

Our page on men’s shirts and T-shirts covers how the office and campus lines are specified, from collar and fit to fabric weight.

Should you drive down or buy through us?

Drive down when a line is new and you want to handle every option yourself. Buy through us when the style is settled, the season is busy, and two days away from the counter would cost more than the trip saves.

A buying trip from the tri-city means an early start on the highway, a day among shops that each hold part of what you need, and bills from several suppliers to reconcile afterwards. Through us, one quotation and one tax invoice cover the lot.

Many retailers mix the two. They come down for the first lot of a new line, settle the samples in person, then buy every repeat at a distance against the counter sample we keep from that first lot.

If you are in Delhi for the market anyway, you can see your samples with us in Gandhi Nagar. Our guide to buying wholesale in Gandhi Nagar explains how the market trades, for the days you do visit.

Planning lots for Lohri, Baisakhi and weddings

Plan tri-city lots backwards from the dates your customers shop for: Karva Chauth and the winter wedding months in the autumn, Lohri in mid-January and Baisakhi in mid-April. Sampling, approval and transit all have to finish before the buying starts, not during it.

Lohri deserves a lot of its own. A baby’s first Lohri brings gifts of clothes from the whole family, so kidswear sets in small sizes, folded to be given, sell in the weeks before mid-January. Brief them alongside the wedding lots, not after.

Baisakhi turns a tri-city shop from winter to summer. Cotton kurtas, lighter kurta sets and bright shades need to be on the rail by the end of March, so their samples are approved while the shop is still selling jackets and shawls.

Gandhi Nagar gets busier before the festive and wedding seasons too, as buyers from many cities restock at once. A tri-city brief that arrives early is sampled before the queues lengthen, and we put dates on the quotation with what each one depends on.

Specifying a lot for a tri-city shop

Specify a tri-city lot as you would any wholesale lot, by style, fabric, colours, sizes and quantity, then settle the details that decide whether it sells here:

• Your own size ratio. A Mohali boutique and a Panchkula family store sell different size spreads, so give us the ratio from your own sales, not a market set.
• The dupatta and the bottom. Say whether each suit or kurta set carries a dupatta, in what fabric, and which bottom comes with it: salwar, straight pant or palazzo.
• Fabric for the month. A kurta set landing in December wants a heavier fabric or a lining; the same style for Baisakhi wants cotton or a light blend.
• Colour by occasion. Wedding and festive lots lean to saturated shades, the hardest to judge on a phone, so send a physical swatch as the reference.

Our page on wholesale garments supplied by the lot explains ratios and solid or assorted packing. For suit and kurti lines, see women’s ethnic wear; for Lohri sizes by age, see kidswear.

Stocking hill-town shops from the tri-city

Tri-city resellers who supply shops in the hill towns of Himachal Pradesh buy for a longer winter than the plains. Their lots need warm kurta sets and children’s winter pieces earlier, and in deeper sizes, than a Sector 17 shop would order.

Those lots also have to break down cleanly. Tell us how you split stock between your own customers, and we pack bundles in those assortments, each marked so a hill-town order can be counted out without opening every bale.

Onward freight into the hills is arranged from the tri-city, by you. Our part ends at the handover in Delhi: the packed lot, the tax invoice and a packing list that follows the bundle marks.

Reordering a tri-city line mid-season

Reorder a tri-city line the week its core sizes start selling out, not when the rail is empty. A kurta set that sells through before Karva Chauth can return for the wedding months, if the brief reaches us with weeks to spare.

Tri-city repeats are matched to the counter sample from the first lot, measured against the same chart and compared for shade with the retained piece, because a new dye batch rarely matches the last one exactly.

A style can also vanish from the Delhi market between lots. If it has, our sampling and sourcing work tells you before the season turns and offers the nearest match with its differences listed, so you choose with time left to sell.

Tax, IGST and papers for a Chandigarh lot

A garment lot from Delhi to Chandigarh crosses from a state into a union territory, so it is an inter-state supply, and the tax invoice will generally show IGST, the integrated GST, rather than CGST and SGST. Your advisor can confirm the treatment.

On a Chandigarh lot, the rate follows the sale value of each piece. At the time of writing, GST on readymade garments is 5% where a piece sells for up to ₹ 2,500 and 18% above it, from 22 Sep 2025; each quotation confirms it.

A registered tri-city retailer gets a tax invoice with its own GSTIN and can claim the IGST as input tax credit. An e-way bill travels with the bales where the consignment needs one, and freight stays “to be confirmed” until your transporter prices it.

Selling Delhi stock through a tri-city boutique

Many tri-city boutiques sell as much through Instagram and WhatsApp as over the counter, so a Delhi lot should arrive ready to photograph: sizes consistent across the bundle, shades that match the approved sample, and tags that answer what a buyer asks in a chat.

If the stock also goes onto Myntra, Ajio or Meesho, each pack carries the Legal Metrology declarations, such as MRP, net quantity and the packer’s name and address, and the listing repeats all but the month and year. Settle tags before packing.

A tri-city boutique moving onto marketplaces will find size charts, fabric descriptions and returns covered in our guide to selling clothes online in India.

How a first tri-city order runs

A first order from a tri-city shop runs in five steps, handled at a distance from our only office, in Gandhi Nagar, New Delhi:

1. Brief. Lines, quantity per style and colour, your size ratio and the date the stock must be in the tri-city.
2. Samples. Found in Gandhi Nagar and sent to you with photographs and a measurement sheet, on the sample terms in the quotation.
3. Quotation. A rate for each piece, IGST on a line of its own, and freight to be confirmed.
4. Lot. Assembled after your written confirmation, checked against the approved sample and packed to your marks.
5. Handover. The bales go to your transporter in Delhi, with the tax invoice and packing list.

To test your price band first, ask for the wholesale rate card. To start, send your lines and dates through our contact page. For storefronts, marketplaces and ads for tri-city brands, see our page on ecommerce in Chandigarh.
