The West Bengal Budget 2026
“The West Bengal Budget 2026 moves in the right direction, especially with its focus on infrastructure, industrial growth and making it easier to do business. For real estate, there are important triggers, as better connectivity and job creation tend to directly drive demand, major connectivity projects, New Town corridor, logistics infrastructure and the proposed second airport near Kolkata. These initiatives can create the foundation for the next phase of urbanisation and real estate growth in West Bengal.”The intent around a new industrial policy and smoother land processes is encouraging and can help open up new growth areas across the state. At the same timein near future, we expect rationalising the Urban Land Ceiling framework, new Township policy , in line with Gujrat or Maharastra, can further support access to larger land parcels and enable more integrated, planned development. — Sushil Mohta, Chairman, Merlin Group & President, CREDAI West Bengal
