The Kolkata Leather Complex is an industrial complex at Karaidanga, Bantala near East Kolkata, India. It is located 20 km from the central business district of Kolkata and has an area of about 4.5 square kilometres. It was conceived following a Supreme Court directive to relocate polluting tanneries and now encompasses approximately 500 individual units, handling 22 to 25 percent of India's tanning output. The complex features dedicated infrastructure including a Common Effluent Treatment Plant, pumping stations, and utilities for consolidated waste management and environmental compliance.
