Khan market is located in the heart of Delhi,a U-Shaped double story market.Initially there were 154 shops and 74 flats on the first floor for shopkeepers.Gradually, the real estate boom and expanding families of the first generation of occupants forced many families to move out. Thus these homes were sold and started being converted into shops. By the 2010s, only a few families were living in these two-room flats.there are grocery stores and middle-class shops existed in the middle lane, despite the fact it catered most up to upmarket Golf links, Sundar Nagar and diplomatic crowd from Chanakayapuri.
