About Salt Lake Sector V

Salt Lake Sector V is the eastern terminus, serving the Sector V IT hub — Kolkata's "Silicon Valley" with offices of TCS, Wipro, Infosys, CTS and many global tech companies.

Salt Lake Sector V is where the Green Line started — the first section, opened on 14 February 2020, ran from here to Salt Lake Stadium and nowhere else, a six-station stub that took another five years to be joined to the rest of the city. It is the eastern terminus, elevated, with two side platforms. Sector V is the IT district: the offices of most of the software and services firms in Kolkata are within walking distance, which gives the station a very sharp weekday peak and a quiet weekend.
