A Merlin Group residential development in Kolkata

About us

Forty years of adding to skylines

Merlin Group has been building in eastern India since the mid-1980s. What began with a single Kolkata address is now six business verticals, five cities and more than 150 delivered projects.

Our brand story

Merlin Group is one of eastern India's most established real estate developers, with a portfolio spanning residential towers, integrated townships, Grade-A commercial space, retail, hospitality and community infrastructure.

Over four decades we have developed more than 20 million square feet and delivered over 150 projects, with a further 10 million square feet under construction and a land bank of over 500 acres across India. Our work reaches beyond Kolkata into Pune, Chennai, Ahmedabad and Raipur.

Scale, for us, is a means rather than an end. It is what lets us buy well, build to specification, hold a possession date and stand behind an address for years after the last handover. Add More to Life is not a slogan we retrofitted — it is the standard our customers hold us to.
