New Industrial Township 3 is the third of the five numbered markets in Faridabad's NIT grid. Most traders who arrive here with a fabric question already know what they are buying — the query is narrower: can a specific cloth be supplied to this market, on what terms, and how the trade actually runs from first enquiry to season close. This page answers that for the 26% Himalayan hemp / 74% Tencel™ blend.
Quick answer: Yes. Compact Buying Services supplies the 26% Himalayan hemp / 74% Tencel™ blend to wholesale traders in NIT Market No. 3 from our Sector 35 office. Wholesale pricing, lot reservation and paperwork are the same across all five NIT markets. The full product detail — blend, repeat supply, lot-split policy, pricing approach — is on the NIT Faridabad page.
This page takes a different angle. Rather than repeat the product story, it covers the parts of the trade that a product page cannot: the downstream customer types a Market No. 3 trader actually serves, how to describe the cloth onward without overclaiming, what each certification really covers, how to plan a season across phased despatches, how to store the cloth across a Faridabad monsoon, and how to handle a downstream rejection when it happens. A trader in Market No. 3 and a trader in Market No. 1 buy the same cloth on the same terms — what differs is the customer mix and the season being planned for.
New Industrial Township 3 is the third of the five numbered markets that make up NIT Faridabad, and like the others it functions as a wholesale and distribution cluster serving shops across the city and beyond.
The five NIT markets are arranged inside the same planned township, close enough that a trader in one is usually within a short walk of the next. Each has built up its own mix of businesses over the years, and the traders working out of Market No. 3 will typically supply shops in Faridabad's outer sectors, in the towns down Mathura Road, and sometimes further into NCR. The fabric buying behaviour is similar to the other markets — bulk quantities, repeat orders, a season's worth of cover rather than a single purchase — but the customer mix that any particular trader serves is not identical, which matters to the trader more than to the supplier.
For delivery, the practical point is that the township is compact and our Sector 35 office is a short drive away. If your shop is at Market No. 3 and you are unsure whether you fall within a normal delivery run, send the address and we will confirm before you commit to an order.
The customer types below you decide the fabric as much as you do — retail shops, tailoring units, boutiques and export consolidators all want something different from the same cloth.
A trader's downstream customers shape which construction is right far more than the market number does. The same 26% hemp blend can serve four very different customer types, and knowing which one dominates your business tells us which weight and finish to recommend.
Most Market No. 3 traders serve a mix of two or three of these rather than just one, and that mix can shift by season. Telling us at the enquiry stage which customer types dominate your book usually gets you a more useful construction recommendation than a general request for "hemp fabric".
Wholesale terms, repeat supply and lot reservation are identical for Market No. 3 as for the other four NIT markets — only the delivery address and any access restriction change.
The full wholesale approach — how the price is quoted, how a season's quantity 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 set out on the NIT Faridabad page. The short version for a Market No. 3 trader:
If you stock other lines alongside hemp — organic cotton, banana fabric, nettle, natural dyes — tell us at enquiry. Multiple lines can often be combined into a single consignment to Market No. 3, saving a trip and a separate invoice.
There are three paths — natural and undyed, stock dye, or a custom Pantone match — and for a first order the first two are almost always the better place to start.
Colour is where a wholesale line either moves fast or sits in the godown for a year. The mistake most first-time traders make is to dye deeply into one shade before they know what their downstream shops will actually buy. The three paths below are ordered from safest to most committed.
Fastness matters more in wholesale than in single-piece retail. A retail customer buys one garment and notices a fade over a season; a wholesale shop buys fifty metres and notices if the cloth behaves differently across the next three deliveries. If you are dyeing to a colour, confirm the fastness figure for the lot before you commit — and be specific about how the cloth will be washed, because a soapnut wash and a harsh detergent wash are not the same test.
If the fabric will sit in a godown across the monsoon before it is sold — which is common for a trader buying ahead of a season — insist on a shade that will hold through humid storage. Natural and undyed is the safest for that reason, and it is why we suggest it for a first order even when a dyed shade looks more attractive on paper.
Your margin depends on how well the shop below can sell the cloth — so the story the fabric arrives with matters as much as the fabric itself.
When you supply a shop, the shop is now the one answering customer questions. If the shop can answer in ten seconds, the customer buys. If the shop has to ring you, the customer has already walked out. The three-sentence version of the story is the safest handoff, and it happens to be honest.
The version we suggest: "It's a Himalayan hemp blend from above 1,800 metres in the foothills, mixed with Tencel™ so it feels softer than pure hemp. Hemp grows fast, uses little water and breaks down naturally at the end of its life. It wears like hemp and feels like a premium apparel fabric." That covers origin, blend and sustainability in a way the shop can remember and repeat.
On what not to say, three points are worth being firm about. Do not call it 100% hemp — it is 26%, and a customer who knows the fibre will notice the difference. Do not call it industrial hemp — that phrase conjures sacking and works against you. Do not say eco-friendly as a blanket claim without a certificate in hand, because a customer who asks "is it GOTS?" needs a real answer, not a nod.
Every consignment travels with a written care note so the shop can hand it to the customer. That is a small piece of admin that earns repeat business — a customer who knows how to wash the garment comes back to buy another one.
GOTS, OEKO-TEX 100 and GRS answer three different questions — knowing which covers what protects you from a claim your customer will test.
Certification language is easy to say and harder to defend. Three certifications come up most often in the sustainable textile trade, and each covers something specific.
Each is issued by an accredited certification body, not by us. Our role is to tell you which certificates apply to the specific lot you are buying and to share them with the paperwork, so your shop can show a customer what is actually documented rather than what sounds best on a label.
On hemp, one honest point is worth knowing. Hemp is not automatically organic — it is pest-resistant as a crop, which is a different thing from being certified organic — and the certification position depends on the specific lot and its supply chain. That is why the paperwork travels lot by lot rather than as a general claim on a page.
The safest way to run a wholesale hemp line is to plan the shape of the season — opening stock, mid-season top-up, end-of-season tail — rather than buy everything at once.
A trader's worst outcome is not a slow sale — it is a slow sale with the godown full. The second-worst is a good sale with no stock to serve it. Both come from buying without a plan. Lot reservation solves the first part of the problem; phased despatch solves the second.
The practical shape of a season usually looks like this. Opening stock is the first 40–50% of the season's total, despatched before the season starts and held at the shop's premises. Mid-season top-up is the next 30–40%, despatched once you can see what is actually selling — that is the phase where a construction that is doing better than expected gets topped up and one that is doing worse gets throttled back. End-of-season tail is the last 10–20%, despatched against actual orders rather than forecast, so nothing sits in stock after the season closes.
The lot reservation holds all three phases against the same lot, so the cloth that arrives in week ten matches the cloth that arrived in week one. That is the whole point of reserving against the season rather than against each despatch — the shade stays steady, the construction stays steady, and the trader's shop window does not have to explain why this month's cloth is a different colour from last month's.
Two practical notes. First, when a second construction is worth adding — because the first one has clearly found a customer base — the same reservation discipline applies to it, even if the quantity is smaller. Second, when a trader's season is shorter than four months, the phases compress, but the shape stays the same: open, top up, tail.
Four rules keep a natural-fibre line clean in a Faridabad godown — off the concrete, ventilated, out of direct sun, and rotated first-in-first-out.
Storage is where a wholesale fabric line most often goes wrong, and it is the part most traders underestimate because a delivered roll looks the same as a stored roll. Faridabad sits in a humidity band that reaches 80% or higher in the monsoon months, and a natural fibre stored in a hot, still room will absorb that humidity and give you a different problem to the one you are expecting.
The four rules that cover most of it are simple.
Two further points. Natural fibres can attract insects in a humid store, and traditional solutions — cedar, neem, a cotton pouch of cloves hung in the corner — are what most Indian godowns use and they work better than sealing the room. And any roll that has sat through a monsoon should have its outer layer unrolled and inspected before the next cut, because mildew starts at the surface and the surface is where you will see it first. If it does, the outer metre is what goes, not the whole roll — so catching it early is the whole point.
Three steps before you call us — measure against the specification, photograph the fault with a reference in frame, and compare a metre against the approved swatch.
Rejections happen, and pretending they do not is worse than preparing for them. In a wholesale natural-fibre line there are three reasons a shop sends cloth back, and only two of them are defects.
When a shop sends cloth back, three steps give you everything you need to resolve it quickly. Measure the fault against the specification you ordered, not just eyeball it — a millimetre in width or a few grams in weight can look like a bigger problem than it is. Photograph the fault with a ruler, a coin or a known reference in frame, so we can see the scale — a close-up of a slub without a reference is not enough to judge by. And put a metre of the disputed cloth next to the approved swatch and photograph the two side by side, because that is the comparison that settles the question either way.
Send those three — the lot number, the photographs and the swatch reference — and we will confirm whether the fault is ours, and if so, how it gets resolved. What we cannot do is resolve a complaint that has no reference to compare against, which is why every consignment carries a lot number and every approved swatch should stay in the trader's file. The paper trail protects both sides, and it protects the trader with their own downstream shop.
A Market No. 3 trader can visit the Sector 35 office during office hours to handle the cloth, or have a consignment delivered against the market address with the access arrangement confirmed in advance.
The office is open Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. A visit is the sensible first step if you are deciding whether hemp is worth stocking — the cloth should be handled rather than judged from a photograph, and a wholesale decision is not one to take from a screen. If a visit is difficult, a free swatch pack can be couriered to the Market No. 3 address instead.
On delivery, the practical detail that catches people out is market access. Some NIT markets restrict vehicle or crew hours during peak trading periods, and some require advance registration. Tell us the shop address and any access restriction when you order, and the dispatch is planned around the actual rule rather than an assumption. Doing this early is a ten-minute admin task that saves a wasted trip on the day.
Deliveries run to NIT Market No. 3, 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 is on the areas we serve page.
If you are a Market No. 3 trader and want a wholesale figure, send the construction, the quantity and the shop address through the enquiry form and we will respond with a specific number for delivery to that address. It also helps to say which downstream customer types dominate your book — retail shops, tailoring units, boutiques or export consolidators — and whether you are starting with natural and undyed or a stock-dyed shade, because both shape the construction and colour direction we recommend. If you want the full product detail, start on the NIT Faridabad page.
Two related pages may also be useful. Markets No. 1 and No. 2 are covered on the same basis and are worth a look if you supply shops across more than one block. And if you sell to retail shops through Market No. 3, the Old Faridabad page explains how a shop should describe the fabric across a counter.
NIT Market No. 3, also known as New Industrial Township 3, is the third of the five numbered markets within the New Industrial Township of Faridabad. It sits in the planned NIT grid, alongside Markets No. 1, No. 2, No. 4 and No. 5, and about a ten-minute drive from our Sector 35 office.
Yes. Wholesale supply to NIT Market No. 3 is handled from our Sector 35 office on the same basis as the other NIT markets. Send the construction you want, the quantity you expect to move and the shop address with your enquiry, and we will confirm a specific wholesale figure for delivery to that address.
Most commonly four types: retail fabric shops selling by the metre, tailoring units cutting on specification, small boutique labels running limited collections, and export consolidators assembling orders for overseas buyers. Each wants something different from the same cloth, which is why the construction question matters more than the market number.
Three paths: natural and undyed, which is the safest base and the fastest to despatch; stock dye, where you choose from shades the mill runs, which is faster and cheaper per metre than a custom match; or a custom Pantone match, which suits boutique and export customers but adds time and often a minimum. For a first order, the natural and undyed cloth, or a stock shade if one is close, is usually the better place to start.
Keep it to three sentences and stay inside what you can document. The fibre is Himalayan hemp grown above 1,800 metres and blended with Tencel™, a lyocell made from wood pulp; hemp grows quickly, needs little water and biodegrades at end of life; the blend wears like hemp and feels like a premium apparel fabric. Do not say 100% hemp, do not call it industrial hemp, and do not use eco-friendly as a blanket claim without a certificate in hand.
The usual wholesale commercial paperwork always travels with the goods. Beyond that, the certification documents available for the specific lot — GOTS or OEKO-TEX 100 where the lot is covered — are shared on request, and we will confirm which apply to your order rather than making a blanket claim. What arrives is what the downstream shop can honestly show a customer.
GOTS covers organic fibre content, processing and social criteria in certified organic textiles. OEKO-TEX 100 tests finished textiles for harmful substances, without asserting that the fibre is organic. GRS certifies recycled content in a textile. They answer three different questions, and a cloth can carry one and not the others, which is why the lot-level document matters more than the logo.
Four rules: keep the rolls off the concrete on pallets or racking, keep the store well ventilated so humidity does not sit against the cloth, keep the cloth out of direct sun, and rotate by first-in-first-out so older stock moves first. Faridabad's monsoon humidity is the main risk on a natural-fibre line, and mildew is the problem a well-ventilated store prevents. Check the outer layer of any roll that has been in storage across a monsoon before you cut into it.
Three steps before contacting us. Measure the cloth against the specification you ordered, photograph the fault with a ruler or a reference in frame so the scale is visible, and compare a metre against the approved swatch. Then send us the lot number, the photographs and the reference swatch. If the fault is ours — shade variance beyond tolerance, wrong construction, short weight — we will resolve it. If the complaint is that the shade differs from a swatch the shop chose months ago under different light, that is a conversation to have with the shop rather than a defect, and we will help you explain the difference.
Yes. Lot reservation and quantity commitment are two separate things. Reserve the season's total against a single lot, then take delivery in phases against the reservation. The reservation holds the shade and the construction steady across the season; the phased despatch keeps your working capital free. Confirm the phasing at the order stage so the schedule matches what you expect.
Stock dye uses the shades the mill already runs, which is faster to despatch and predictable across lots. Natural dye uses plant-based colour and suits a customer who wants the dye story alongside the fibre story, but shades vary more between lots and the process adds time. For a trader, stock dye is the safer base and natural dye is the premium option — and with natural dye, reserve the full season's quantity against one lot or expect visible variation between despatches.
No. Wholesale pricing, lot reservation, paperwork and the shade-split policy are identical across all five NIT markets. What changes is the delivery address and, sometimes, the peak-hour access arrangement at the market itself. Confirm the shop address and any access rule when you order and the dispatch is planned around the actual arrangement.
Often yes. If you supply shops across more than one of the five NIT markets, tell us the addresses and quantities at enquiry and we will confirm whether the despatches can be combined into a single consignment. A combined consignment usually saves a trip and a delivery charge, and it helps hold a single lot across all the shops you supply.
The NIT Faridabad page is the full product page — blend, wholesale approach, repeat supply, lot consistency and the whole NIT belt. This page is written for the Market No. 3 trader specifically, and covers the parts a product page does not: the downstream customer types you serve, how to describe the fabric onward, what each certification covers, how to plan a season's stock, how to store the cloth across a monsoon, and how to handle a downstream rejection. The full product detail still sits on the NIT page.
Yes. The Sector 35 office is open Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. A trader from Market No. 3 is welcome to come in and handle the swatches in person — a wholesale fabric decision should not be made from a photograph. If a visit is not practical, free swatch packs can be couriered to the market address, with no minimum to request one.
