I plan to move from Kolkata and want to know if my salary will stretch further.
How does the cost of living in Raiganj compare to Kolkata?
1 Answer
Raiganj generally has a lower cost of living than Kolkata. Basic groceries, household items, and local transportation are cheaper, often by 20-30%. Rent for a one‑bedroom apartment in the city centre is usually 30-40% less than in comparable Kolkata areas. Utilities and dining out are also more affordable. However, for imported goods and high‑end services you may still see similar prices to larger metros. It’s wise to compare local classifieds and speak with residents to get current figures.
A starting point only — it may be incomplete or out of date. Check official sources for anything important, and add your own answer if you know Raiganj.
