Dutch & Habro Distributorship
in West Bengal

West Bengal is one of India's most humid states, and its pest demand runs high for most of the year. The South-West monsoon (June–September) is heavy across the Gangetic delta, and Kolkata's dense, low-rise housing keeps cockroach and mosquito pressure elevated well into the post-monsoon months. The sub-Himalayan north (Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri) adds a wetter, cooler pattern, while the coastal Sundarbans belt sees year-round mosquito load.

• Jun–Oct: monsoon cockroach and mosquito peak across Kolkata, Howrah, the 24 Parganas → gel baits, repellent liquids, wipes
• Post-harvest (Nov–Jan): rodents into rice-belt godowns and shops → Podo glue boards, snap traps, rat cakes
• Year-round: coastal and delta humidity sustains mosquito demand → repellent liquids, coils

West Bengal has roughly 10 crore people across 23 districts, with demand concentrated in the Kolkata Metropolitan Region — one of India's largest and oldest consumer markets — and secondary hubs at Siliguri (the gateway to the North-East), Asansol-Durgapur and Malda. High population density and humidity make it a strong per-capita market for household pest control and hygiene.

West Bengal is heavily general-trade and wholesale led. Kolkata's Burrabazar is one of the largest distribution hubs in eastern India, feeding a vast kirana network across the state and into the North-East. Modern trade (Spencer's, Reliance, More) is well established in Kolkata and the larger towns, and Siliguri acts as the redistribution point for the entire North-Eastern region.

Distributing insecticides in West Bengal requires a Form VI licence under the Insecticides Act, 1968, issued by the West Bengal Directorate of Agriculture through the district agriculture office. Submit your GST certificate, premises proof and the principal certificate we provide on appointment. The non-insecticide brands — Habro, Lovaire, Caesars and Gardenz — can be distributed without this licence.

Our team supports Bengali, Hindi and English, with onboarding coordinated from Kolkata for the south and Siliguri for the northern districts and North-East redistribution.

The Andaman & Nicobar Islands are serviced through our West Bengal operations, with Kolkata port as the natural supply route. The islands' tropical, high-humidity climate creates genuine year-round demand for mosquito and cockroach control; logistics, not demand, is the constraint. A single distributor or institutional supplier covers the territory — apply below and mention Andaman & Nicobar.
