Many branded clothes sold at Delhi's Sarojini Nagar come from export surplus or factory rejects with minor stitching or colour defects, experts said. Shopkeepers buy them for ₹100-150 a piece, or cheaper in bulk, and sell them for ₹400-500, earning 20-30% margins. Many garments also travel from US, Canada and other countries via Panipat, major wholesale hub, before reaching Sarojini.
