Calcutta Riverside, Batanagar
Calcutta Riverside is a one-of-a-kind riverside township situated at Batanagar, just a short drive from South Kolkata. It covers 262 acres of river-facing land along the Hooghly and is designed to blend natural beauty with modern infrastructure. The project was envisioned as a sustainable and smart urban habitat where both residential and commercial components exist harmoniously.
The township includes a mix of villas, high-rise apartments, and mid-rise blocks, offering homes for different budget ranges. Each section of the project is planned with its own green space, ensuring maximum ventilation and views of the river or landscaped gardens. These residences are designed to appeal to both homebuyers and investors.
A notable feature is the presence of a 9-hole golf course, which adds a recreational luxury unmatched by most urban projects. Alongside that, the township has planned spaces for a marina, river promenade, and sports complexes—catering to a lifestyle that values outdoor activities and water-side relaxation.
In terms of commercial infrastructure, Calcutta Riverside includes an IT SEZ, service apartments, a 200-room hotel, retail centers, and dedicated office spaces. These zones are built to encourage employment and support economic activity within the township, reducing dependence on city commutes.
Environmental planning has been a key focus since inception. The township includes rainwater harvesting, waste treatment systems, green-certified buildings, and solar lighting in common areas. Over 40% of the land is left open and green, making it a rare find in a rapidly urbanizing region.
The project also includes schools, clinics, and community centers to ensure that residents have access to essential services within walking distance. Educational institutions and healthcare facilities are strategically placed throughout the campus to serve both residents and commercial occupants.
Although some phases of Calcutta Riverside are still under development, it is steadily gaining popularity among families, professionals, and retirees looking for a peaceful alternative to city chaos. Its combination of natural beauty, infrastructure, and thoughtful planning makes it stand out.
In the long run, Calcutta Riverside is set to become a self-contained riverfront city—one that reflects modern planning and sustainable living, all while staying close to Kolkata’s historical and cultural heart.
