New Industrial Township 1 — most people in Faridabad call it NIT Market No. 1 — is one of the five numbered markets that make up the New Industrial Township. It is where a number of the city's wholesale traders and distribution businesses work from. This page exists for one reason: a trader in Market No. 1 who wants to know whether we can supply hemp fabric to that specific address, on wholesale terms, and how the conversation should work.
Quick answer: Yes. Compact Buying Services supplies the 26% Himalayan hemp / 74% Tencel™ blend to wholesale traders working out of NIT Market No. 1 and the other NIT markets, from our Sector 35 office a short distance away. Free swatches, repeat supply reserved against a single lot where quantity allows, and the full product detail on the NIT Faridabad page.
This page is written for the trader rather than for the product. If you have already decided to stock hemp and want the blend behaviour, the care notes, the certification position and the repeat-supply policy, that is what the NIT Faridabad page is for. What this page does is answer the questions a Market No. 1 trader actually asks before placing a first order: what to prepare, how the order runs, what to watch for in a supplier, and how to time it against the shop's season.
New Industrial Township 1 is the first of the five numbered markets that together form NIT Faridabad — the planned commercial grid where a large share of the city's wholesale fabric and garment trade is concentrated.
The NIT was laid out in the planned style, with the markets numbered 1 through 5 rather than given a single market street. Each market has built up its own cluster of trading businesses over the decades, and each is a distinct commercial address even though they sit close together. A trader in Market No. 1 and a trader in Market No. 5 both work within the same township, both re-supply shops across Faridabad and the surrounding towns, and both are supplied by us on the same basis.
What this means for delivery is simple. A consignment to Market No. 1 is confirmed against the shop address and the timing that suits the despatch, with any peak-hour access restriction at the market planned around rather than assumed. If your shop is at Market No. 1 and you are not sure whether you fall within a normal run, tell us the address and we will confirm.
A wholesale quote is only as accurate as the brief that goes into it — five pieces of information turn a vague question into a real figure.
Most wholesale enquiries we get that end in an unhelpful reply start with the same six words: "What is your rate for hemp?" That question has no honest answer, because the rate depends on the construction, the quantity, the lot and the finish. Six different quotes are all correct and none of them useful.
If you have the following five things ready when you write, the reply you get back is a number you can plan against rather than a range you have to keep asking about.
With those five, a wholesale figure comes back in writing and it holds. Without them, any reply is an opening position rather than an answer, and a wholesale commitment should not be made on an opening position.
Wholesale terms, repeat supply and lot reservation are the same for Market No. 1 as for any other NIT market — nothing changes because of the market number, only the delivery address.
The full wholesale approach — how the price is quoted, how a season's total can be reserved against a single lot, how a shade split is flagged before production when it cannot be avoided, what paperwork travels with a consignment — is all covered in detail on the NIT Faridabad page. Rather than repeat that here, the short version for a Market No. 1 trader is:
If you stock other lines alongside hemp — organic cotton, banana fabric, nettle, natural dyes — say so at enquiry. Multiple lines can often be combined into a single consignment to your Market No. 1 shop, which saves a trip and a separate invoice.
A first wholesale order runs through five steps — brief, quote, swatch, lot reservation, despatch — and each step exists because skipping it is what causes a return three months later.
The sequence is worth understanding because the pace is different from a retail purchase. A first order to a Market No. 1 trader usually moves like this.
Five things: garment types, approximate quantity per season, colour direction, downstream customer profile and shop address with any access restriction. Written, not verbal, so nothing gets lost between calls.
Quoted against the construction, quantity and lot. The reply names what is included and what is not, so the figure is comparable with another supplier's without translation.
The swatch pack reaches you before any commitment. Handle the cloth, hold it to the light, drape it, wash a piece the way your customer will. Nothing in a wholesale order should be decided from a photograph.
If you expect to move the cloth across a season, reserve the full quantity now rather than just the first despatch. That is what keeps the shade steady across months. Where one lot cannot cover the total, the split is flagged in writing before production starts.
First delivery and the follow-ups are confirmed against the reservation. Despatch timing, access at the market, and paperwork requirements are all settled at this step rather than after the first consignment lands.
A first order takes longer than a repeat because the swatch approval and lot reservation are new. A repeat is faster — the lot is already reserved, the swatch is already approved, and the sequence shortens to a despatch confirmation. Once you have run through it, the second order to Market No. 1 is nearly always quicker than the first.
Our Sector 35 office is a short drive from Market No. 1, so a trader can visit and handle the cloth during office hours, or have a consignment delivered against the market address.
The office is open Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. A trader working from Market No. 1 is welcome to come in and see the swatches in person — a wholesale fabric decision should not be made from a photograph, and we would rather you handle the cloth than take our word for it. If a visit is difficult, a free swatch pack can be couriered to the market address instead.
On delivery, the practical detail is that market access can vary. Some NIT markets restrict delivery hours during peak trading periods, and some require the vehicle or crew to be registered in advance. Tell us the shop address and any access restriction at the time you order, and the dispatch is planned around the actual rule rather than a default assumption. That is a small piece of admin done early, and it saves a wasted trip on the delivery day.
Deliveries run to NIT Market No. 1, the other four NIT markets and the surrounding NIT residential blocks, as well as to the rest of Faridabad and the wider Delhi NCR including Gurugram, Delhi and Noida. Sample packs are dispatched worldwide for buyers outside India.
A full list of every Faridabad area we supply — industrial belts, sectors, markets, colonies and outer villages — is on the areas we serve page.
Six things should slow a Market No. 1 trader down before committing to a wholesale line — because a mistake on one despatch multiplies across a season's worth of shops.
Most of what separates a good wholesale supplier from a poor one is visible before the first order. These are the checks worth running, and they apply to us the same as to anyone else you are comparing us with.
None of these is a personal judgement on any supplier. They are just the checks that protect a trader's margin, and a supplier who welcomes them is easier to work with than one who does not.
Work backwards from when your downstream shop needs the cloth, add the swatch and lot reservation steps, and do not leave the fabric to the last fortnight before the shop's season opens.
Wholesale timing is decided by the shop below you, not by the fabric supplier. If your customer sells into a festive or wedding season, they will want the cloth in their hands well before the season starts — usually with enough time to cut, stitch and display. That timeline is what your order has to work backwards from.
Three practical points on timing. First, a first order takes longer than a repeat because the swatch approval and lot reservation are new. Factor in a couple of weeks for the swatch stage alone, and more if you need a Pantone match on a dyed lot. Second, a repeat order is faster because the lot is already reserved and the swatch is already approved — but it still needs to be confirmed against the reservation so the cloth is not promised elsewhere. Third, leave the fabric to the last fortnight and the answer becomes "yes for a small despatch, no for the full season" rather than a clean commitment.
If the downstream shop has a hard date, tell us that date at the enquiry stage rather than at despatch. It is the single most useful thing you can give us for planning against the real timeline, and it is the reason a Market No. 1 trader who plans early usually gets the lot and the timing they wanted.
If you already know this is the right fabric, send the five brief items — garment types, quantity per season, colour direction, downstream customer profile and shop address — through the enquiry form and we will respond with a specific wholesale figure for Market No. 1 delivery. If you want the full product detail — the blend, the care, the repeat-supply policy, the whole NIT belt — start on the NIT Faridabad page.
Two other pages may be useful. If you are also supplying retail shops through Market No. 1, the Old Faridabad page covers how a shop should describe the fabric across a counter. And if you are looking for finished organic garments rather than fabric, our apparel range shows what we already make up.
New Industrial Township 1, commonly called NIT Market No. 1, is the first of the five numbered markets that make up the New Industrial Township of Faridabad. It sits within the planned NIT grid, and our Sector 35 office is a short distance away, so a trader working from Market No. 1 can visit or receive a delivery the same week.
Yes. Traders and distributors working from NIT Market No. 1 and the other numbered NIT markets are supplied wholesale from our Sector 35 office. Wholesale pricing is confirmed against the construction, the quantity and the lot, so send those three things with your enquiry and we will respond with a specific figure.
Have five things ready: the garment types you are supplying downstream, the approximate quantity per month or season, the colour direction, the shop address and any peak-hour access restriction at the market. With those five, we can quote a specific wholesale figure rather than a general rate. Without them, any quote is a guess, and a guess is not a basis for a wholesale commitment.
Five steps. You send the brief, we confirm a wholesale figure in writing, you approve a swatch by courier, we reserve the lot against your season's quantity, and we confirm the despatch schedule. Each step exists because skipping it is what causes a return later. The first order takes longer than a repeat because the swatch and lot reservation are new; after that the sequence is quicker.
It depends on the construction, the quantity and whether the lot is already in stock or needs to be produced. Tell us the downstream shop's need-by date when you enquire and we will confirm what is achievable against it. Leaving the fabric to the last fortnight before the shop needs it is where most first-order timelines slip.
Six things. A supplier who is vague about lot numbers, who gives a verbal specification instead of a written one, who cannot produce certification documents when asked, who will not send samples, whose price is noticeably below the rest of the market, or who cannot issue paperwork a downstream shop can use. Each of those is a warning on a wholesale line because the cost of getting it wrong multiplies across a season.
Often yes. If you supply shops in more than one NIT market, tell us the addresses and quantities at enquiry and we will confirm whether the despatches can be combined into a single consignment. Combining usually saves a trip and a delivery charge, and it helps keep a single lot across all the shops.
The goods travel with the usual wholesale commercial paperwork, and the certification documents available for the lot — GOTS and OEKO-TEX 100 where applicable — are shared on request. Confirm what your downstream shops need before the order is placed, so the documents travel with the goods rather than arriving after them.
Payment terms depend on the order, the lot reservation and the relationship, so we confirm them at the enquiry stage rather than publishing a fixed policy on the page. A first order is quoted on one basis and a repeat supply on another. Tell us what you need and we will be specific about what is possible rather than evasive.
Yes. The office at Sector 35 is open Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. A trader from Market No. 1 can come in, handle the swatches and discuss the wholesale arrangement in person. If a visit is not practical, free swatch packs can be couriered to your market address — there is no minimum to request one.
The NIT Faridabad page is the full product page, covering the blend, the wholesale pricing approach, repeat supply and lot consistency, and the whole NIT trading belt. This page is a Market No. 1-specific guide for traders — what to prepare before a wholesale enquiry, how a first order runs, how to vet a supplier, and how to time an order. The product detail sits on the NIT page; the practical trader guidance sits here.
