Shriram Properties Plans Kolkata Expansion After Uttarpara Growth
Shriram Properties is a company that builds homes and other real estate projects.
It first entered Bengal about 20 years ago by buying a large piece of land in Uttarpara.
The company faced land-related problems that delayed construction.
Those issues were resolved after it gave 42 acres back to the state in February.
Shriram says its Uttarpara projects are now receiving a strong response, especially its premium villas.
It plans to build more homes and other facilities there.
These facilities may include a mall, offices, a school, a hospital and senior living homes.
The company is also looking for new projects in Kolkata, including Rajarhat and Alipore.
Shriram Properties is exploring projects in Kolkata, including Rajarhat and Alipore, with a target gross development value of ₹500–600 crore per project.
The Bengaluru-based developer entered Bengal 20 years ago by acquiring 314 acres in Uttarpara from Hindustan Motors.
Shriram recently transferred 42 acres of the Uttarpara land to the state, resolving outstanding land-related disputes.
The company has developed 6 million square feet at Uttarpara and plans 7–10 million more square feet there over the coming years.
Shriram expects to invest ₹4,000 crore in Uttarpara, including projects such as a mall, offices, senior living, a school and a hospital.
