Importers and exporters of Indian books.

What We do.

Motilal (UK) Books of India is a specialised distributor for all Indian publishers of English language books, but we also can supply any of the Indian languages, and books from the whole South East Asia Region including Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Myanmar.
However, only in India is the English publishing scene full of titles on an endless range of subjects, authors and publishers. As the worlds largest distributor of this material outside of India we work with the world wide book trade to list over 500 new titles a Month, adding to a range of over 50,000 such titles available today. We have over 26,000 Indian published titles in stock with Amazon.co.uk, and 2000 titles in stock with Amazon.com in the USA. In fact you can order our Books from any branch of Amazon worldwide, or any bookshop or library.

For Trade buyers, you can search over 50,000 Indian titles on Nielsen book data's records, searching by isbn, title,author, or simply by key words or subjects. In our UK office we hold around 6000 titles in stock, from the more than 650 Publishers we exclusively represent into the UK and the world wide book trade. We ship from our offices in Delhi by Air once or twice a week, and by sea every 3-4 months, and exhibit internationally every year at the London Book fair, and Frankfurt book fair where we meet with publishers and customers.

We attend the Delhi world book fair every two years, which presents us an opportunity to meet contracted publishers and new publishers, see new titles, and plan future business with them all to maximise sales outside of India.

We can ship directly from India or from the UK, and supply retailers, wholesalers,public libraries, academic library suppliers, all major online book sellers, and educational suppliers. Academic customers are our main market due to both the specialist material and the economical prices compared to publishing elsewhere. Although wholesalers, we supplier any quantity from 1 copy upwards.

Indian Publishing has much to offer, with publishing on every subject you can possibly think of, for the most part in world class quality. You can contact us now or plan to visit our stand at one of the next international trade shows as follows.
