Overview
Adjacent to New Town, Rajarhat has grown alongside it and shares much of its connectivity to the airport and the IT corridors, typically at a lower entry price. For a first Kolkata asset or a longer holding horizon, that combination is the draw.
It's a corridor still filling in, which is precisely the appreciation thesis — you're buying ahead of some of the maturation rather than after it.
Why NRIs choose Rajarhat
- Lower entry than the New Town core.
- Spillover benefit from New Town's infrastructure and demand.
- Connectivity to the airport and IT employment.
- Appreciation runway as the corridor develops.
