Kolkata, West Bengal. Hockey turf in Kolkata is an institutional build: sports authorities, universities, academies and the occasional stadium. The specification is set by FIH, and the difference between a Global and a National system is the difference between a water-based pitch and a sand-dressed one.
Building for Kolkata conditions.
Kolkata sits in a eastern humid climate: high humidity, a long monsoon and fewer dry building days than the west. A long humid monsoon in Kolkata. Drainage first, then a PU-backed turf, galvanised fencing and a build schedule around the wet months.
In Kolkata most of the enquiries we see come from Salt Lake, New Town, Rajarhat and Garia, though the crews go anywhere in the district.

How it works.

- Site visit. Levels, falls, drainage and base. For anything larger than a single court we insist on it.
- Quotation. One number covering base construction, supply, installation and marking, with the data sheet for the chosen system.
- Build. Material ships from our Surat warehouse, 4 to 5 days to Kolkata. Crews stay until handover.

Questions, asked often.
Which FIH category does a school in Kolkata need?
National. An 18 mm sand-dressed pitch plays at national competition level, needs no irrigation, and costs considerably less to build and run than a Global pitch.
What does an FIH hockey pitch cost in Kolkata?
It is a project quotation, not a per-sq-ft one: turf category, shock pad, irrigation if Global, base to FIH tolerance, drainage, fencing and lighting. Site visit first; delivery to Kolkata is 4 to 5 days from Surat.
Can the pitch be certified?
Yes. The systems are FIH-approved products, and the installed pitch can be field-tested for certification after handover if the venue requires it.
