Durgapur’s Industrial Realty Sees 12% Surge Amid Manufacturing Boom

The industrial real estate market in Durgapur is witnessing a significant upturn, with commercial plot prices surging by 12%, now ranging between Rs 1,500 to 2,500 per sq ft. This growth is largely driven by the rise of new manufacturing units across the industrial belt.

Over the past year, several medium and large-scale industries—particularly in engineering, metals, and electric components—have either set up base or expanded operations in Durgapur’s industrial zones. The availability of skilled labor, strong connectivity via road and rail, and proximity to resource hubs have made Durgapur a favored industrial hotspot in West Bengal.

Real estate developers and industrial park planners are responding swiftly, with proposals for new logistics hubs, warehouses, and plug-and-play factory units. The West Bengal government’s push for Make in Bengal and ease-of-doing-business reforms has also contributed to the growing investor confidence.

Experts anticipate this momentum to continue, with more than 200 acres of industrial land currently under planning and acquisition. This upward trend is not only boosting realty prices but also generating employment and strengthening Durgapur’s position as a key industrial center in eastern India.
