Proposed Expansion of Residential Complex, at Old Calcutta Road, Patulia, Khardah, 24 Pgs. (North) Project Report Developer – Power Point Buildcon Pvt. Ltd. & Others 1.0 INTRODUCTION With an assurance of better prospects & paving way to accomplish aspirations, the major urban centers of all the states are enticing the educated India. A sharp increase in urban population of all the major cities of the country is compelling their outward expansion. Kolkata, one of the metropolitan cities & the state capital of West Bengal is no exception. To meet the increasing housing demand for the urban population, a number of multi-storied housing estates are coming up in and around Kolkata. Also, the housing scenario of the Kolkata City itself has become saturated and beyond the affordability for the middle-income group people of the society. Side by side, people are getting tired out of rapidly changing living environment and increasing pollution in the Kolkata City. Therefore, due to above factors, an outward force is observed to become active for these people to settle their livelihood in the outskirts town of Kolkata. In search of their own abode in the vicinity of the city at an affordable price, people are envisaging Barrackpore, Titagarh, Khardah as well as Panihati – Sodepur as prospects. Power Point Buildcon Pvt. Ltd. & Others, being one of the pioneers in the field of real estate development, has already taken initiatives for the developments of such type of Housing Complexes in the region. Residential Complex at Old Calcutta Road, Saradha Pally, near B.T. Road is one of them. Phase I of this complex has already received the Environmental Clearance from SEIAA, West Bengal. The developer has now proposed to expand the project further by 11 nos. of G+14 storied residential towers, B+G+7 storied Car Parking (MLCP), 1 no. of Single storied service block, G+2 storied club block, single storied Podium and vertical expansion of existing 5 blocks (from Phase I) from G+11 to G+14 storied. The Old Calcutta Road connects Barrackpore Trunk Road and Sodepur Madhyamgram Road. 2.0 NEED FOR THE PROPOSAL Old Calcutta road, in recent years, has got a major importance from location point of view. The project has close proximity to Barrackpore on one side & Sodepur on the other making it an ideal residential locality for the population commuting daily to the city. The site is also close to the Titagarh railway Station, one of the prominent station. The area has a strong linkage with various prominent nodes of Kolkata such as Barrackpore, Sodepur, Kalyani Expressway, khardah, Titagarh and North 24 pargnas. On the other hand, the comparatively less polluted environment with plenty of greeneries and plantations in the region has been attracting people from the surrounding areas as well as from the Kolkata City itself. Accordingly, the housing demand has gone high. To cater for this demand, Power Point Buildcon Pvt. Ltd. & Others has taken initiatives to construct a housing complex. The main objectives of the housing complex are: i) To provide people with a better quality shelter as well as living environment at an affordable price. ii) To provide all necessary infrastructure support and community facilities to the dwellers. iii) To ensure minimum environmental degradation during the construction and operational stages and to mitigate the adverse impacts. iv) To help for the improvement of Socio–Economic environment of surrounding region. 3.0 THE COMPANY BACKGROUND Power Point Buildcon Pvt.
