Delhi Mercantile Society D.M.S (Urdu: دہلی مرکنٹائل سوسائٹی) in Gulshan 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 Punjabi Saudagaran-e-Delhi, 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.
