Why the trade fits
Aligarh is India’s lock and builder-hardware capital, whose output moves through the same appointed dealer networks that carry tiles, sanitaryware and plywood. Dealers stock a wide range of locks and fittings across price points, so capital sits across many stock units before any one sells. A dealer limit sized to that range keeps the hardware counter full without straining cash.
How the safeguards apply here
Purpose-tied disbursal pays the lock or hardware enterprise directly against a confirmed order, so money reaches stock. Delivery confirmation and short cycles keep a broad, slow-moving catalogue turning rather than ageing on the shelf.
