Nandy Bagan or Nandi Bagan is a neighbourhood of South Kolkata in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is a residential area surrounded with Kasba, Haltu, Garfa, Jadavpur, Babu Bagan, Dhakuria, Naskarpara, Shahid Nagar, Bosepukur and Selimpur. It is traditionally an upper-middle-class neighbourhood, situated around the Nandi Bagan community playground. However, with the newly constructed Prince Anwar Shah Road connector with the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass, property prices have increased in the area. The area is covered by the Garfa Police Station of the Kolkata Police Force. The Haltu Post Office serves the area.
Nandi Bagan was a part of the early settlements of Hindu immigrants from East Bengal who were displaced from their homeland during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. The area saw rapid development after the construction of a new rail over bridge (Bijon Setu) in 1978 connecting the area to Ballygunge. With the economic boom in India in 1991, the area started to attract much investment from property developers.
It is an urban middle-class neighbourhood and of late, has become a pricey area of Kolkata because of its proximity to Jadavpur, Jodhpur Park, Ballygunge and Dhakuria. The area is home to a wide variety of people from all walks of life. The roads in this neighborhood are often lined with trees. The area has a planned underground drainage system and street lighting. There are couple of parks and gardens in the area, most notably the Nandi Bagan community playground and a public swimming pool.
One of the major thoroughfares in Garfa Main Road, which connects the area to Gariahat Road and Jadavpur. It also connects the area to Prince Anwar Shah Road connector. The street has a diverse selection of restaurants, from Chinese joints to South Indian food and a wide variety of local snack-bars. Recent developments include opening of big banking outlets like State Bank of India, AXIS Bank, Allahabad Bank and Bank of India.
