This initiative is expected to redefine the urban landscape by fostering economic activities within the metro premises.

The commercial services will encompass a diverse range, including retail outlets, food establishments, and essential service providers. Commuters can anticipate a seamless blend of convenience and accessibility as they navigate through the metro stations. The project aligns with the broader vision of creating dynamic urban spaces that cater to the multifaceted needs of the community.

This strategic integration of commerce into the metro infrastructure reflects a forward-thinking approach to urban development. By leveraging the footfall at metro stations, the authorities aim to create a symbiotic relationship between public transportation and commercial enterprises. As Kolkata embraces this progressive transformation, the Howrah-Maidan-Esplanade metro line is set to redefine the urban commute experience for thousands of daily passengers.
