Surat, May 16, 2025 — Located at the prime junction of Ramwadi, Salabatpura on Ring Road, the Adarsh Textile Market Association (2) has established itself as one of Surat’s leading centers for textile trade. Founded in 2001, the market comprises 323 shops that predominantly deal in wholesale fabric, sarees, dress materials, laces, and Punjabi suits. It offers a wide variety of sarees and garment-related goods, making it a sought-after destination for retailers and agents alike.
Speaking to Loktej, Vijay Daga, Treasurer of the Market Association and Director of Shreyansh Print Pvt.

Gautam Seth, Director of S.R. Ramsons Pvt. Ltd. and Vice President of the association, has been operating in this market since 2001. With roots in Patiala from 1960, Seth expanded his business to Mumbai and eventually to Surat. He also manages a warehouse at Pandesara and oversees operations involving embroidery machines. His agency office has been active since 1984 and is backed by an in-house manufacturing unit.
