Lohar Chawl is the electrical market of Mumbai: lighting, fans, wires and cables, switches, MCBs, locks and door hardware, from several hundred wholesale shops in the lanes between Crawford Market and Kalbadevi. Electricians, contractors and builders buy here; so does anyone fitting out a flat who wants trade prices.
The lighting houses are the ones that get written about. Most shops carry much the same stock at much the same price, so the advice is to find the big ones and compare.
