Wholesale Trade
Much of wholesale trade in India is still in the unorganized sector. The growth of private sector banks has increased the reach of banking services to the unorganized sector in general and in particular to the wholesale trade business. Wholesale trade has a strong presence in districts that are production centres for both agricultural and manufacturing goods and in important logistically convenient districts.
