What DTC Group does

DTC Group is a privately held, family-owned (Jalan family) Indian business conglomerate headquartered in Kolkata, with operations spanning three verticals: real estate development, mining and mineral processing, and infrastructure. The group was established in the 1980s through the acquisition of a century-old mining company in Jharkhand, and the corporate entity DTC Projects Private Limited was incorporated in West Bengal. The conglomerate comprises five entities—DTC Securities Limited, DTC Projects Private Limited, East Commercial Private Limited, Rajmahal Quartz Sand & Kaolin Co., and DTC Minerals Pvt. Ltd.

The real estate vertical is the largest by activity, with approximately 20 lakh sq.ft. (~1,600 homes) delivered and roughly 60 lakh sq.ft.

A flagship Southern Heights project in South West Kolkata spans 20 acres with approximately 3 million sq.ft. built-up area and employs Mivan construction technology. Units are priced from ₹45 Lakh to ₹1.35 Crore, sold direct-to-consumer through sales offices, site visits, WhatsApp, and Calendly-based online scheduling. The mining vertical, operated through ISO 9001:2008-certified Rajmahal Quartz Sand & Kaolin Co., produces china clay, silica sand, and graphite in Jharkhand at 100,000 tonnes annual capacity (planned expansion to 150,000 TPA) using GPS-guided surveys and automated processing.
