❓ Frequently Asked Questions — KMDA Kolkata Metro

What is KMDA?
Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA) — established 1970 — covers 1,886 sqkm Kolkata Metropolitan Area (KMA). Includes Kolkata, Howrah, North 24 Parganas, South 24 Parganas, parts of Hooghly. Implements regional infrastructure (Eastern Metropolitan Bypass), and integrated townships.
What is Salt Lake City and KMDA's role?
Salt Lake City (Bidhannagar) — developed by KMDA in 1958-65 — was India's first planned satellite city. Three sectors (Sectors 1, 2, 3). Modeled on Chandigarh planning principles. Now houses Sector V (IT/ITES hub), Salt Lake Stadium (Yuva Bharati Krirangan), government offices. Properties here are premium.
How does KMDA differ from WBHIDCO?
KMDA is the older (1970) metropolitan authority with broader regional coordination role. WBHIDCO (West Bengal Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation) is newer (1997) and was specifically created to develop New Town Kolkata (Rajarhat). KMDA does regional planning; WBHIDCO does township development. They coordinate.
Are KMDA properties good investment?
Mixed. Salt Lake City (KMDA-developed) is among Kolkata's most premium addresses — strong appreciation, excellent rental yields (4-6%). Other KMDA integrated townships in suburbs have moderate appreciation (6-9%). Best for end-users and stable rental investment. Less speculative growth than NCR/Mumbai.
How to apply for KMDA scheme?
Visit kmdaonline.org. Most current activity is regional infrastructure rather than individual plot sales. Periodic township schemes happen. Register interest with KMDA. Pay fees + earnest money. Most are e-auctions for premium plots or lottery for residential. WBHIDCO handles most direct residential allotments.
