Park Street to Get Facelift After Signpost India Wins KMC Contract

Signpost India has won a major outdoor advertising contract from the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) for Park Street, in a move that will lead to a visible facelift of the thoroughfare. The contract grants the company rights to deploy and manage outdoor advertising assets along the avenue and adjoining stretches. KMC coordinated the award as part of efforts to rejuvenate the area. The award follows a competitive process managed by civic officials.

The initiative will see the installation and upkeep of hoardings, digital panels and branded street furniture, subject to municipal guidelines and heritage considerations. The company will be responsible for design conformity, maintenance and revenue collection related to the advertising inventory. The arrangement is expected to involve phased work to minimise disruption to traffic and local commerce. Heritage oversight is expected to shape the visual approach and materials.

Local traders and hospitality operators are set to experience changes in the streetscape that may influence visibility and customer engagement, while residents can expect renewal of public-facing infrastructure. The municipal authority anticipates the project to improve the aesthetics of the avenue and to leverage advertising revenue to support urban services. Signpost India will manage commercial partnerships and the placement of campaigns within the agreed regulatory framework. The scheme may also include maintenance regimes and reporting mechanisms to ensure compliance.

The project is positioned as part of broader efforts to balance heritage preservation with contemporary urban branding and commercial activity. Implementation timelines and specific financial terms were not disclosed in the announcement, and further operational details will emerge as the company and the municipal authority progress planning. Observers say the development underscores a trend where city administrations collaborate with private firms to fund public realm improvements. Stakeholders will watch the rollout for its effect on pedestrian experience and commercial vibrancy.
