Ambala Cloth Wholesale Market Textile Trade

Ambala City's cloth market is one of the largest wholesale textile trading centres in northern India, supplying retailers from Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, and Uttarakhand with grey cloth, dress materials, sarees, and furnishing fabrics. Traders from the Baniya and Agrawal communities run wholesale firms that maintain relationships with weaving clusters in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan, aggregating fabric in Ambala for regional distribution. The market's strategic position on the GT Road and railway junction gives it a freight advantage that has sustained its dominance as a regional textile trade hub since the 19th century.
