The market reform of Alauddin Khilji was one of the most effective and far reaching economic regulations of the Sultanate period. It did not remain confined to rural economy but extended to urban market as well. He issued a set of seven regulations which came to be known as market control measures.
These measures were enacted to regulate the activities of the traders who brought grain to Delhi. The Sultan fixed the prices of all commoditions from grain to cloths, slaves, cattle etc. A controller of market (shahna-i-mandi) intelligence officers (barids) and secret spies (munhiyan) were appointed. The grain merchants were placed under the Shahna-i-mandi. Regrating (ihtikar) was prohibited.
While ensuring strict control in the market, the Sultan did no? Overlook the regular supply of grains and other things at lower prices. For controlling the food prices, Alauddin Khilji tried to control not only the supply of food grains from the villages, and its transportation to the city by the grain – merchants (Karwanis or banjaras) but also its proper distribution to the citizens.
