A tea park covering 10–12 acres is being planned by the West Bengal government near Kolkata, on the banks of the Hooghly River. The objective is to construct an export-oriented tea processing and packaging plant that draws inspiration from Dubai's models, which Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee saw during her visit to the Middle East. Through value addition and the utilization of Kolkata port's connectivity, the initiative aims to increase exports of Darjeeling tea. The proposal to permit large-scale investment in updating technology for the terrace tea gardens has been well received by the stakeholders in the tea industry.
