Delhi Mercantile Society (Urdu: دہلی مرکنٹائل سوسائٹی ) is one of the neighbourhoods of Gulshan Town in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.
This neighbourhood was established by the Jamiat-e-Punjabi-Saudagaran-e-Delhi (Urdu: جمعیت پنجابی سوداگران دہلی ), a community of Punjabi-Muslim traders, originally from Delhi, India, who migrated to Pakistan after independence in 1947. The
The bulk of the population still comprises the Punjabi Saudagaran-e-Delhi, as the Mercantile Society's rules make it very difficult for other groups to purchase property in this locality.
