Rajarhat - New Town..

Rajarhat has many factors going for it in terms of real estate market drivers. It enjoys good road connectivity with Eastern Metropolitan Bypass and Belgharia Expressway connecting it to southern and northern parts of the city.

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport is close to Rajarhat and is well-connected to the submarket.
