How to liquidate ₹14L MRP of deadstock? Brand new, factory-sealed Eveready lighting inventory (CFLs, T5 Battens, Ballasts)
Hi everyone,
I am looking for strategic business advice or direct leads on how to liquidate a large batch of commercial and residential lighting deadstock. My family owns an electrical equipment shop, and we are holding a massive, untouched inventory from Eveready. Everything is 100% original, brand new, and in factory-sealed box packaging.
Our primary goal is maximum cost recovery rather than just dumping it for scrap, as we are actively looking to clear business debts.
Because the urban retail market has fully shifted to LEDs, regular walk-ins aren't viable. However, these are highly reliable, branded goods that are perfect for rural distribution networks, infrastructure contractors, budget commercial properties, or industrial setups where T5s and high-wattage CFLs are still actively utilized.
Here is the exact inventory manifest from our sheet:
| Item Name | Total Quantity | Units Per Box | Retail MRP (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| T5 Batten With D | 100 Boxes | 10 Units / Box | 690 |
| 15W ELD (CFL) | 10 Boxes + 87 Units | 48 Units / Box | 185 |
| 27W ELS (CFL) | 12 Boxes | 48 Units / Box | 325 |
| 23W ELT (CFL) | 4 Boxes | 48 Units / Box | 240 |
| 20W ELT (CFL) | 1 Box + 34 Units | 48 Units / Box | 225 |
| 20W ELS (CFL) | 1 Box | 48 Units / Box | 270 |
| 11W ELD (CFL) | 11 Boxes | 48 Units / Box | 150 |
| 5W Mini (CFL) | 1 Box + 31 Units | 48 Units / Box | 147 |
| 30W HWF (CFL) | 10 Boxes + 1 Unit | 30 Units / Box | 300 |
| 8W Mini (CFL) | 9 Boxes | 48 Units / Box | 150 |
| 65W High Wattage | 5 Boxes | 12 Units / Box | 680 |
| Electronic Ballast 36/40W | 6 Boxes | 30 Units / Box | 190 |
Total Estimated Volume: ~3,500+ individual units.
Condition: Pristine, original factory cartons.
What I am looking for:
- B2B Bulk Liquidators: Are there reliable platforms or offline surplus buyers in India who deal specifically in branded electrical overstock?
- Alternative Target Industries: Which specific sectors (e.g., government tenders, rural infrastructure projects, poultry farming, or temporary event management companies) still buy these in bulk?
- Approaching Distributors: How should I approach regional distributors or open-market wholesalers (like those in major wholesale hubs) to pitch this entire lot at a attractive wholesale percentage?
We are willing to offer heavy discounts on the total lot value for a serious buyer who can clear the warehouse space in one or two transactions. Any genuine guidance, strategy, or connection would mean a lot to my family right now. Thank you!
