TCS to set up 20 acres campus in Kolkata

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has received approval from the New Town Kolkata Development Authority (NKDA) to kick off Phase I of its Bengal Silicon Valley campus, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee said on Tuesday.

In Phase I, TCS will construct 9 lakh square feet of office space, including an 11‑storey tower, creating 5,000 jobs. Phase II will add 15 lakh square feet and 20,000 more positions, bringing the total built-up space to 24 lakh square feet and direct employment to 25,000, she wrote in a post on X.

This comes as part of the software exporter’s broader real estate push worth over Rs 4,500 crore across Bengaluru, Kolkata, Kochi, Hyderabad, Coimbatore, and Visakhapatnam, ET had reported earlier.

The Kolkata expansion spans 30 acres across Sanchita Park and Bengal Silicon Valley Hub, with capacity for 16,500 seats -- 12,500 operational by year-end and the remainder following within three years, ET had reported.
