The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has completed renaming all slums in the city as 'Uttaran' zones, signifying upliftment and dignity, including upgrades to civic amenities. Kolkata airport authorities are intensifying their vector-control drive by upgrading air curtains at entry and exit points to combat a persistent mosquito infestation, enhancing cleaning cycles and increasing fogging frequency.

The Kolkata Airport is undergoing expansion to increase its annual passenger handling capacity from 2.6 crore to 4.5 crore. A new terminal (T3) is being constructed, expected to be completed by November 2025, which will raise the total capacity to 3.3 crore passengers. This will enhance Kolkata's status as a travel hub, and stimulate economic growth.

The Kolkata Metro network is undergoing significant expansion, with plans to add 100 kilometers by 2026. Key projects include the Joka to Esplanade (Purple Line) and New Garia to Kolkata Airport (part of the Orange Line) sections. The Yellow Line extension from Noapara to Barasat and the Pink Line 5 are also under construction or planned.
