Effect of the present budget on infrastructure development – Driving Business Growth in Kolkata!
Kolkata is entering a powerful new phase of infrastructure growth. Across the Kolkata Metropolitan Area (KMA), large-scale development projects—especially the rapid expansion of the metro network—are transforming how businesses operate, connect, and grow. Improved connectivity is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity for modern enterprises seeking efficiency, accessibility, and long-term sustainability.
Metro Expansion Driving Business Momentum:
The Government’s 2024–25 budget allocated over ₹4,000 crore to Kolkata Metro projects, reinforcing the city’s commitment to seamless urban mobility. Key developments include:
- Orange Line (New Garia–Airport): With the highest allocation of ₹1,791.39 crore, this corridor strengthens north–south connectivity. The New Garia to Ruby stretch is already operational, and the extension to Sector V is expected by late 2025—further enhancing accessibility to Salt Lake’s commercial district.
- Purple Line (Joka–Esplanade): Allocated ₹1,208.61 crore in 2024–25 and an additional ₹906 crore in 2026–27, this corridor is set to boost connectivity across key business and residential zones.
- Green Line (East–West Metro): ₹906 crore has been invested to accelerate completion, strengthening east–west transit, including the IT and corporate hubs of Salt Lake Sector V.
These developments are not just transport upgrades—they are economic catalysts. Enhanced metro access reduces commute times, improves workforce mobility, increases footfall in commercial zones, and significantly boosts property demand.
For businesses, this means one thing: location near a metro station directly impacts productivity and convenience.
