New Alipore, Residential suburb in South Kolkata, India.
New Alipore is a residential suburb spanning South Kolkata from the Budge Budge railway station northward to Behala in the south. Diamond Harbour Road forms its western edge, with the neighborhood containing a mix of apartments, houses, and green spaces throughout.
The suburb was established during the 1950s as a planned residential development to accommodate Kolkata's growing population. This expansion formed part of the city's systematic urban planning efforts in the post-independence period.
The neighborhood integrates modern residential complexes with parks and educational institutions, reflecting the transformation of South Kolkata's urban development.
Two railway stations, New Alipore and Majerhat, link the area to the suburban rail network with regular service throughout the day. Bus routes and the Diamond Harbour Road corridor provide additional transport options for moving around and reaching nearby neighborhoods.
The India Government Mint operates in this area since the 1930s and produces the nation's currency. This facility remains largely invisible to visitors despite its role in supplying the country with coins and notes.
