Did Adani Group begin preliminary assessment to renovate Writers’ Building in Kolkata? Project could cost up to ₹120 cr
Reportedly, Adani Group is leading the restoration and renovation work of Writers' Building in Kolkata. According to sources, Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari had asked the Group to take on the project.
Adani Group may have initiated a preliminary assessment for the renovation of the Writers' Building in Kolkata, according to recent reports. The group's advisor, Sanjay Thade, was reportedly present during an inspection of the historic site by the Public Works Department (PWD). Sources suggest that the assessment focused on the building's current condition and identified structural issues that might require extensive restoration work.
Estimates indicate that the renovation project could cost up to ₹120 crore, potentially funded by Adani Group as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative. The Writers' Building is a prominent historic landmark in Kolkata, and its restoration has been proposed by the state government after the BJP's victory in the recent elections.
The decision aims to shift the state administration back to Writers' Buildings, replacing the current location at Nabanna in Howrah. However, the restoration project must adhere to strict conservation guidelines that limit alterations to the building's original architectural framework.
