Delhi Mercantile Society D.M.S (Urdu: دہلی مرکنٹائل سوسائٹی ‎) not to be confused with D.M.C.H.S (Delhi Mercantile Cooperative Housing Society) in Jamshed Town, is a neighborhood in the Karachi East district of Karachi, Pakistan. It was previously administered as part of the Gulshan Town borough,[1] which was disbanded in 2011.

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 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.
