Metropolis Mall (also known as Hiland Park Mall) is a long-standing local shopping and entertainment hub located along the EM Bypass in South Kolkata. It was developed by Calcutta Metropolitan Group Ltd. While it was one of the city’s first modern malls operational since December, 2004 and as of 2026, it is primarily viewed as a functional neighborhood destination rather than a major “destination mall” due to some visible wear and a higher vacancy rate.
