Surat, May 13 — Located near Puna-Kumbharia Road in the Amarwada area of Surat, the New Bombay Textile Market has steadily grown into a prominent retail and wholesale textile hub since its establishment in 2000. With approximately 900 active shops, the market is renowned for offering a wide variety of garments and fabrics at budget-friendly prices.
The market specializes in garments, dress materials, readymade clothing, chaniya cholis, suit-salwar sets, printed synthetic, and cotton fabrics. One of the market's unique features is its flexible "piece-to-piece" sales model, which allows individual customers to purchase clothing in small quantities—a feature particularly attractive to retailers and local buyers.
To ensure smooth operations and structured management, a dedicated committee oversees the market's functioning. The committee is led by President Navlesh Goyal, with Sampat Kumar M. Gadia serving as Secretary and Subhashbhai Puranik as Treasurer. Several other members also contribute actively to the efficient running of the market.
In terms of infrastructure, the New Bombay Textile Market is equipped with over 60 CCTV cameras for security and a fully operational fire safety system to ensure the safety of both merchants and customers. The market is divided into two wholesale floors and two retail floors, providing a clear separation for business and consumer activities.
Speaking on the evolving trends of commerce, Goyal noted that despite the increasing shift toward online trade, New Bombay Textile Market has not seen any negative impact. Its physical presence, customer engagement, and diverse offerings continue to draw business from across India and even international markets.
Traders from nearly all Indian states visit the market for procurement, and regular footfall from international buyers highlights the market's growing reputation on the global textile map. With its blend of affordability, variety, and modern amenities, the New Bombay Textile Market remains one of Surat’s leading textile trading destinations.
