Selling model trains in Asansol
Asansol is a coal and steel city in the same industrial belt, older and less planned than Durgapur nearby. The market is practical and equipment-led, and decorative goods have little audience here.
Coal and steel employment dominate and move households on industrial rather than seasonal cycles. Dust is constant and worth considering for anything with a motor or a filter.
The city is spread around the industrial areas and driving is the normal way to collect anything substantial. Traffic is heavy on the main routes through.
Asansol, in West Bengal, has around 570,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Kolkata, Howrah and Durgapur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Asansol
