Sarojini Nagar Market started out as the local shopping area for the huge Sarojini Nagar Government Colony, a housing project for employees of the Indian Central Government, as well as the state Government. It is encircled by Safdarjung Enclave, South Extension and Netaji Nagar on three sides. It is in the vicinity of Chanakyapuri, one of the most beautiful localities in Delhi, also the home of various embassies and consulates, including those of the United States and Russia.

Essentially located in the posh South Delhi locality of the city, Sarojini Nagar (or SN as it is sometimes called) is one of the most favoured places in the city to buy clothes and fabrics at unbeatable prices. Apart from a large number of large sized showrooms for various international and local brands, the crux of the market is formed by street side shops which sell garments of all sizes, designs and colors.

Sarojini Nagar was partially destroyed (and has since been rebuilt) in the Diwali Delhi blasts on 29/10/05 Delhi Bombings.
