Designed to go the distance
AutoMall is a testament to the modern love for automobiles. Over 350,000 sq ft has been dedicated to adorning Kolkata’s landscape with twin towers that serve to display, retail and celebrate automobiles. Exclusive areas such as boutiques and car designer studios provide stylisation and accessorization services intended to deliver a customised automobile experience. Inspired by aerodynamic design, the symmetry of the twin towers is located opposite the proposed diplomatic enclave, adjacent to shopping malls and hotels. Conveniently situated in Rajarhat, Kolkata’s newest Smart City, on the 60 metre wide Main Arterial Road, it is a mere 10 min from the airport, surrounded by IT, hospitality, medical and residential projects. The Garia Metro rail link to Dum Dum is expected to be operational by 2016.
The AutoMall will provide a hub for automobile selection and purchase, touching upon every aspect of automobile ownership. This enormous enterprise has been endowed with architectural attributes that will make it an extraordinary addition to Kolkata’s landscape of speciality malls. 10,000 sq ft of terraces at multiple levels and the grand front plaza guarantee increased visibility. It also serves as an area for live automobile displays and events. The side facades are constructed entirely of glass and let in as much daylight as possible, maximising the visibility of the interiors. An illuminated metallic double facade with chevrons creates an impression of speed. With over 450 ft of frontage, the twin towers of the AutoMall demonstrate a symmetry inspired by aerodynamic design.

Accelerate safely into the future
We believe that chasing the future means creating a new vertical for Gen Y—not just ‘Need for Speed’ but ‘Responsible Acceleration’. A special section will be earmarked for classroom style virtual driving sessions—another first for Kolkata! These sessions will enable users to experience various driving environments and circumstances such as nighttime driving, driving in hurricane conditions etc. The idea is to capitalise upon the safety of learning to drive in an indoor setting through simulation.
A customised automobile experience
AutoMall will feature boutiques and exclusive areas such as car designer studios. Specialised platforms will be dedicated to aspects such as stylisation and accessorization.
These will cater to the interests of automobile owners who wish to customise their vehicles according to their individual tastes.
A welcoming pit stop
AutoMall offers you the exclusivity to unwind both indoors and outdoors that will go a long way in making this mall the ideal destination for automobile enthusiasts. By creating opportunities for people to relax, enjoy a coffee and share a conversation, AutoMall instantly transforms its experience to one that features hospitality and creates loyalty, with premium retail spaces for luxury brands and boutiques.
AutoMall will feature 5 levels of seamless office spaces built to maximise a happy working environment and a healthy work-life relationship. These include services intrinsically connected with car ownership. Imagine having access to finance, safety and insurance facilities under the same roof.
