The West Bengal government has rejected DLF Ltds proposal to build a 500-acre township at Dankuni in the suburbs of Kolkata, according to the state’s principal secretary Subesh Das.
Though in July 2006, the state government had chosen DLF through competitive bidding to build a 4,840-acre township in the same area, it couldn’t acquire land for the project .
The proposed township was estimated to cost Rs40,000 crore and was to be DLFs biggest project in eastern India. Mint had reported in its 2 February edition that DLF had proposed to scale down the project to a 500-acre township in view of the difficulty in acquiring land.
