About Raniganj

Known for the Raniganj Coalfields — one of India's oldest coal mining regions, active since the 1770s — it is a significant destination for industrial visits, corporate transfers, family trips to the coal belt region, and groups visiting the wider Asansol-Durgapur-Raniganj industrial corridor.

routeRoute: Kolkata → Raniganj
The Kolkata to Raniganj route via NH19 follows the historic Grand Trunk Road — one of India's oldest and most important highway corridors. From Dankuni, the road transitions onto the Durgapur Expressway, a dedicated 4-lane expressway that runs 65 km to Palsit. After Palsit the road continues on the old GT Road through Bardhaman, Panagarh, and Durgapur before reaching Raniganj. The highway is largely 4-lane throughout, well-maintained, and has no difficult terrain — making it equally suitable for a sedan, an Innova, a 17-seater tempo traveller, or a 45-seater bus. There are three toll plazas on the route: Dankuni, Palsit, and Banskopa (near Durgapur). Traffic on the Durgapur Expressway can be heavy during long weekends and festive seasons, particularly between Dankuni and Singur in the Kolkata exit zone.
