'''East Kolkata''' refers to the eastern areas of the city of [[Kolkata]], [[India]]. It includes the localities of Metropolitan Township, [[Dhapa, Kolkata|Dhapa]], [[Tangra, Kolkata|Tangra]], [[Bantala]], [[Topsia]], [[Tiljala]], VIP Nagar, [[Anandapur, Kolkata|Anandapur]], Kalikapur, [[Mukundapur, Kolkata|Mukundapur]], [[Ajoy Nagar]], [[Panchasayar]] and certain parts of [[Garia]] like [[Baishnabghata Patuli Township|Baishnabghata-Patuli Township]], [[Chak Garia]], Nayabad and [[New Garia]]. The northern part of East Kolkata is dominated by the townships of Salt Lake and New Town. The region is characterized by well planned (regular) residential blocks and houses many of the attractions of the city.

==Transport==
The main road transport artery is the [[Eastern Metropolitan Bypass]] which runs from [[Ultadanga]] in the north to [[Baruipur]] Puratan Bazar in the south. Besides [[VIP Road]], Salt Lake Bypass and Major Arterial Road are also important. [[Kolkata Metro Line 6]] (which is under construction now) runs through East Kolkata.

==Townships==
East Kolkata has five major [[township]]s which constitute the bulk of the region. These are as follows :
* [[Bidhannagar|Salt Lake]]
* [[New Town, Kolkata|New Town]]
* Metropolitan Township (near Chingrighata)
* East Calcutta Township (at [[Anandapur, Kolkata|Anandapur]] and eastern part of [[Kasba, Kolkata|Kasba]])
* [[Baishnabghata Patuli Township]]

==IT Hub-Sector V==

The Information Technology hub is the centre of some of the notable IT/[[ITES]] [[India]]n and [[Multinational corporation|multinational]] companies. A total of 1,500 companies (by April 2019) have their office space in Sector V.[https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/soon-smart-composting-units-at-sector-v-offices/articleshow/68713409.cms] More than 2 lakh people are employed in Sector V, Salt Lake City by 2018. The area is administered by Naba Diganta Industrial Township Authority (NDITA). Sector V has a total road length of 17 km. Lack of adequate public transport is a major problem of this area. After the commissioning of Metro Line 2 (expected by March 2019) and Metro Line 6 (both lines have an intersection at Sector V Station) the situation is expected to improve. The State Government has also planned a flyover at the College More Crossing for smooth traffic movement.
