Panipat Handloom Market (GT Road)

Panipat Handloom Market: The City's Home Textiles

Panipat is known as the "City of Weavers", and its handloom showrooms, many along GT Road, sell what the city's units make: blankets, rugs, bedsheets and curtains. Shops sell wholesale in sets, lots or rolls; single pieces are usually not sold.

What You'll Find

• Blankets: mink, polar fleece and woollen.
• Bedsheets and curtains.
• Rugs, durries and mats.

Buying Blankets

• Buy winter stock early. Prices rise as winter approaches.
• Ask the GSM. Higher GSM means a heavier, warmer blanket.
• Ask whether the blanket is shoddy (recycled wool), acrylic, polyester or wool, as this sets warmth and price.

Compare rates with Kachha Camp on the same trip, or go to the factories on Sanoli Road for bulk orders.
