Realty these days is one the fastest growing sectors in Bengal's otherwise gloomy economy. The world’s largest hotel chain which is upbeat about the state’s real estate outlook is Best Western. We expect the commercial property in Kolkata to grow by 10-15 per cent pan-India this year and eastern India is anticipated to post a faster growth. There was a demand-supply gap within the commercial and residential property in Kolkata, eastern India and expected the region to get pleasure from a decent growth rate within the next 5 years.
