Guwahati, Assam's commercial powerhouse, is grappling with severe congestion in its central business districts, impacting sales and footfall in key markets like Fancy Bazar, AT Road, Athgaon, and Paltan Bazar. This urban challenge is pushing businesses and customers to explore alternative hubs like North Guwahati and Amingaon, which promise a more seamless and sustainable commercial environment.
Once bustling with traders and shoppers, core market areas in Guwahati are now losing their appeal due to traffic bottlenecks, parking woes, and logistical delays. According to the GMDA Master Plan 2045, areas such as AT Road and MG Road experience traffic congestion at critical levels, with vehicle numbers expected to increase by 50% by 2045. For traders relying on high footfall, these conditions pose significant challenges.
“Many customers now prefer less congested zones or online platforms for their shopping needs, leaving traditional markets to struggle,” said a Fancy Bazar trader.
Amingaon, supported by projects like Trinity Business Park, is quickly becoming the go-to destination for businesses seeking a modern, hassle-free environment. Trinity Business Park, a state-of-the-art commercial complex, offers advanced facilities, ample parking, and proximity to the proposed Multi-Modal Logistics Park, making it an ideal hub for trade and commerce.
“Trinity Business Park is not just a workspace; it’s a solution to the challenges businesses face in congested areas. It represents the future of commerce in Guwahati,” said a spokesperson for the project.
Beyond its commercial appeal, Amingaon is evolving into a balanced urban space with residential, commercial, and public service infrastructure. This development model offers traders and customers a congestion-free alternative to Guwahati's overcrowded core.
For businesses, relocating to Amingaon and North Guwahati represents an opportunity to thrive in an environment designed for growth and sustainability. As Guwahati continues its rapid expansion, embracing new hubs like these could mark the beginning of a brighter, more organized commercial future.
