19 Jan 2023 CW Team

Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA), a statutory authority of Indian Railways, has invited bids for residential cum commercial development on a plot having a total land area of 22,182 sq m near Bagdogra Railway Station.

The proposed land parcel will be leased out for 99 years and the reserve price of the land is Rs 730 million. An online pre-bid meeting was held on January 4 where many local and national level developers participated and expressed keen interest. The deadline for submitting e-bids is February 14, the authority said.

The site is located in an urban area close to the Bagdogra Airport (Siliguri) and situated within the reach of many tourist places in the Darjeeling district. On the north side, the proposed site is bounded by Purnea-Siliguri road, and toward the south side by the Bagdogra Railway Station area. The East side is bounded by RFP (Railway Protection Force) area.

The proposed land parcel is ideal for residential as well as commercial development because of its proximity to the railway station and airport. The land parcel is very near to the city centre of Siliguri and a lot of new townships have already been developed in the near vicinity, said Ved Parkash Dudeja, vice chairman, RLDA.
