India's netting market has thousands of dealers and traders between the manufacturer and the end buyer. Understanding this supply chain helps you get the best quality at the lowest price.
The Typical Supply Chain
Manufacturer → National Distributor (15–25% markup) → State Dealer (10–20% markup) → Local Retailer (15–30% markup) → Buyer
By the time a net reaches the retail buyer, the price may be 50–80% above the factory rate. A major dealer may be receiving the same net you buy locally at nearly half the price.
