Value-chain gaps

Money this district loses today

Raw output sold cheap, value added elsewhere — each gap below is an opening for a local business.

Embroidered garments: job-work pieces → branded occasion-wear labels

Unverified
Raw 85%Processed 15%

Okhla's embroidered ladies'-garment units mostly do zardozi and sequin job work supplied to traders and brand owners at piece rates. The same embellished apparel sold under an own occasion-wear label — designed festive and bridal collections, retail and export packs — commands several times the bare stitching margin. A cluster brand and finishing line would capture value that downstream brands take today.

Growth signal

Demand for embellished ethnic and occasion wear is rising in domestic and diaspora markets.

Zardozi craft: loose embroidery work → premium heritage-brand products

Unverified
Raw 85%Processed 15%

Okhla's zardozi and embellishment artisans are paid per-panel rates for work that disappears into others' finished products. Positioned as a heritage hand-embroidery brand — signed couture panels, home-decor pieces, export gifting — the same craft commands a defensible premium over anonymous job work. A craft-led brand would let artisans capture the value their skill creates.
