West Bengal's financial hub in Rajarhat - the satellite township on the north eastern fringes of Kolkata - is likely to boast two 20-storied towers with "world-class infrastructure".

The twin towers are to be set up at a cost of nearly Rs 180 crore. Global tenders are expected to be floated soon.

The proposal to set up these twin towers were passed at the board meeting of the West Bengal Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation (WBHIDCO) - the nodal agency looking into the development of Rajarhat.

A senior HIDCO official said that a consultant is likely to be appointed to prepare pre-bid documents in this regard.

The foundation stone for the State's financial hub was laid by the Chief Minister, Ms Mamata Banerjee, earlier this month.
