Nehru Place -The Computer hub of Delhi

Nehru Place , Papa of all Computer market located in South Delhi . It was named after the Jawahar Lal Nehru ,India's 1st prime minister.

Nehru Place



The place is one of biggest computer hardware market of Asia so it is the place to be in if you are interested in computers and computer parts.You could find office of almost all hardware companies here to name a few Intel,Asus,Gigabyte,Kingston and transcend . You could easily get cheap CDs of computer games, movies and software. Street hawkers selling Cloths,watches,Shoes etc is a common site of Nehru place now a days . But do remember that you don't forget to bargain before buying anything from them .

Nehru place on Jan 2012 was stated as one of the top 30 notorious IT markets in the world by US trade representative .As you walk down in Nehru place after every few steps you would find a person standing with a long list of software's/games arranged alphabetically being sold at a very low price sometime may be 1/200 times the actual cost of the software .

For buying hardware I would recommend you 2 shops .These are fixed price shops and sell genuine parts
1. Computer Empire
2. Cost to Cost -For price list you could use the link www.costtocost.in/list/pricelist.pdf


I found these 2 shops having the lowest rate in market .

if you want to get your laptop repaired ,you'll have to roam in the market and get it checked by atleast 3-4 by so called computer engineers .They are not engineer's by degree but have more knowledge than the engineers and can easily make a fool of anyone.So please note that you do survey the market properly otherwise you might get those parts changed in your computer which didn't require any changesand end up spending 4-5 times more than actually required.

Laptop lamination costs around 100/150 Rs .I got it done for my laptop for rs 130 which included full laptop lamination and keyboard guard .
