The existing layout of Liluah Workshop does not provide room for further  expansion as is bound on two (North & South) sides by water bodies (North and South tanks), by a municipal road on East and Howrah-Burdwan Mainline on West side. The covered area has virtually reached saturation point. As a result, despite the requirement to expand the volume of activities in Liluah, it is no longer feasible to add covered space.
