==History and NDITA Formation==
Sector V was planned as a commercial sector of [[Bidhannagar]] city. Prior to 2005, Sector V was maintained by Bidhannagar Municipality. But since Sector-V was seeing electronics and IT industry growing fast in the area (due to [[Salt Lake Electronics Complex]]), the [[Second Bhattacharjee ministry|Government of West Bengal]] considered to construct an Industrial Township under Section 385A of the West Bengal Municipal Act, 1993. Followed by an announecment on 31 January 2006, a new Township Authority called "Nabadiganta Industrial Township Authority" was made.<ref name="auto"/>
