From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kolkata, formerly Calcutta, has many densely populated towns and districts on its outskirts.
Greater Kolkata consists of Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) and parts of the North 24 Parganas and South 24 Parganas districts and - arguably - parts of Howrah and Hooghly.

The major municipal areas which are a part of the KMDA Kolkata conurbation are:
- Kolkata Municipal Corporation

Many towns in Greater Kolkata are being incorporated within the Kolkata postal area, with their postal PIN codes being changed so that these areas can be identified with the larger metropolitan area.
