Rajarhat, also called New Town, is one of India's latest and fastest-growing planned new cities. It is situated at the Greater Calcutta area in the Indian state of West Bengal, and near the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in Calcutta. One of the most modern residential places of the country, several renowned real estate companies have already built luxurious highrise apartment complexes in Action Areas I and II, with the partnership of the West Bengal Housing and Infrastructural Development Corporation or HIDCO in short.
Among many there, few important to name would be:
* Animikha, Anupama and Alaktika by Bengal Peerless Housing Development Company Limited, a Joint Sector Company of West Bengal Housing Board and The Peerless General Finance & Investment Company Limited. The latest creation of the Company is a Multi-Utility Infrastructure Project AXIS having more than 500,000 sq ft (50,000 m²).
* Utsa and Ujjwala by Bengal Ambuja Housing.
* Akankha and Tin Kanya by Bengal Shelter Housing at Action Area -II. [1]
* Rosedale Estate, Highland Park, Highland Woods, and Greenwood Park by Bengal Shrachi Housing.
* Shree, Rabi Rashmi, Uttara, and Malancha by Bengal DCL Development Consultants Limited.
* Air, Cascade, and Horizon by Unitech Real Estate Developers.
* Olive Gardens.
* Vedic Village
* 5 Star Property by Shristi
* Sunrise Point by Bengal Park Chambers in Action area II-C
All these housing estates have been constructed in vast green fields with 75% of each estate remaining open. This makes these estates one of the most airy ones in Calcutta. Moreover, in five acres of land, each estate has their own club houses with modern sports and cultural complexes, community and shopping centres, swimming pools and others.
This area, according to governmental plans, also caters to the residential needs and standards of high-profile non-resident-Indians. And housing complexes with all/most of the major Indian and Western amenities have been built remembering their needs. By providing housing and all other modern amenities to Non-resident Indians and particularly non-resident Bengalis, the Government of West Bengal wants them to return to their homeland permanently or annually to serve the Bengali people's community.
