Near Old Dhaka, the New Market is located in the northern part of Azimpur. Anyone knows by its name and the market is also located in some portion of Mirpur Road.

Construction of the market was started by CBD in 1952 on 35 acres of land during East Pakistan Prime Minister Nurul Amin's period. Its construction was completed in 1954 and the establishment of this market paved the way for the modernization of Dhaka. Old Dhaka was very densely populated and disturbed. Therefore, Nurul Amin's modernization project was very limited, so people protested against it. Some believe that Dhaka New Market and Shahbag Hotel were built for Nurul Amin's family only.

The New Market area is triangular shaped with high minaret-like arches on three sides. The market has a total of 440 shops and a triangular lane in the middle. The total area of this market is 35 acres. (1,40,000 sq. meter.).

In the eighties, the northern part of the market established a separate section New Super Market for crockeries and Banalota Market for kitchen utensils. A grocery market was also established in the D block. Later 60 new shops got allotment by the mosque.
