North East Delhiउत्तर पूर्व दिल्ली

A formal, GST-documented cut-and-sew contract unit that absorbs overflow orders from D2C garment brands — faster turnaround and clean paperwork the informal Seelampur ecosystem cannot offer. Buyers: online apparel labels needing reliable small-batch production.

Jackets are part of North East Delhi's One District One Product, but most units here stitch for traders who keep the brand and the profit. A small label that designs its own jackets, gets them made locally and sells them online keeps that profit.

North East Delhi has a large young population looking for job skills close to home. A hands-on phone and laptop repair course, using dead circuit boards bought cheaply from the Seelampur scrap trade for practice, prepares students for work in repair shops.

Seelampur is one of India's best-known e-waste markets, where old phones are mostly broken up for parts. Repairing the good ones and selling them tested, with a bill and a warranty, serves buyers who want a cheap phone they can trust.

Nearly every phone and laptop taken apart in Seelampur's scrap trade leaves a lithium battery, and loose heaps of them can catch fire. Buying these batteries, storing them safely and sending full loads to registered recyclers gives recyclers steady supply and makes the market safer.
