Kolkata Emerges as Growing Real Estate Hub Amid Infrastructure and Policy Changes
Kolkata is emerging as a significant real estate hotspot in India, driven by strong infrastructure developments, a skilled workforce, and strategic connectivity to the Northeast and neighboring countries. Annual housing launches are projected to nearly double from 9,194 units in 2021 to 17,164 in 2025, with sales also expected to increase substantially. The East submarket is a key growth area, and the proposed abolition of the Urban Land Ceiling Act after 2026 is anticipated to further enhance land availability and development opportunities.
