Which markets in Mumbai and Surat are best for wholesale abayas, burqas, and hijabs?

Short answer

Mohammed Ali Road, Nakhuda Mohalla, and Bhendi Bazaar in South Mumbai are India's largest wholesale markets for imported and Indian Nida abayas, Dubai-style kaftans, and hijabs. In Surat, New Bombay Market, Umarwada, and Unn/Bhestan clusters manufacture bulk abaya fabrics and modest wear.

Retailers and exporters sourcing Islamic modest wear rely on two primary hubs:

  • Mumbai: Mohammed Ali Road and Nakhuda Mohalla (near Masjid Bunder Station) stock over 500 showrooms of Korean Nida, Zoom fabric, CEY crepe abayas, stone-work partywear farashas, and chiffon/jersey hijabs.
  • Surat: Leading manufacturing base for black and dyed Nida/Firdous/CEY polyester fabrics by the meter and bulk stitched modest-wear parcels for Gulf and African exports.
