WEST BENGAL – GATEWAY OF EASTERN INDIA

Providing access to states of Eastern India, Northeast, land-locked states of Central & Northern India, adjoining countries Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh as well as the Southeast Asian markets through ports like Kolkata and Haldia.

Kolkata’s unique strategic geographical advantages likely led Job Charnock, the British merchant representative of the British East India Company to reportedly found the city of Calcutta (former anglicized name) in 1686 after amalgamating the three large villages of Sutanuti, Gobindpur, and Kalikata along the east bank of the river Ganges.

From 1772 to 1911, Calcutta remained the capital of British India.

In 1947 at the time of India’s Independence, West Bengal was one of the most industrialized states of India.

Today, West Bengal is in the midst of an industrial renaissance and leading the industrial development of Eastern India.

EASTERN INDIA – NEXT MANUFACTURING HUB

With long-established leadership in steel, mining, coal, and heavy industries, eastern India is now transforming into a manufacturing hub.

During the last decade (2014–15 to 2024–2025), Manufacturing saw significant increase in GSVA (at current prices) of states of eastern India:

STATE	2014-15 (Rs. in Lakhs)	2024-25 (Rs. in Lakhs)	% INCREASE
West Bengal	7,162,103	21,593,780	302
Odisha	4,724,215	19,332,886	409
