West Bengal Aims to Revive Calcutta Stock Exchange and Restore Financial Hub Status

The historic Calcutta Stock Exchange is on the brink of a comeback, as West Bengal's finance minister pledges to reinstate Kolkata’s status as a financial capital. This initiative is expected to provide Eastern India with improved access to capital, lower trading expenses, and the potential for job creation.

Additionally, the government is looking to list profitable state-owned enterprises, a strategy designed to raise funds and unlock economic value. With these measures, West Bengal aims to enhance the region's economic landscape and solidify its position in the financial sector.
