Hoogly constituency, shares a large industrial area on the western bank of the Hooghly river in the district with Sreerampur and has a rich agricultural hinterland.

According to The Statesman, "The Hooghly Lok Sabha constituency had remained a Communist bastion till the Trinamul snatched their thunder in the 2009 General Election. The constituency has the distinction of having a rich colonial history with the Portuguese settlement at Bandel, the French colony at Chandannagore, the Danish settlement at Serampore… and Chinsurah, a former Dutch colony. Despite ruling West Bengal for 35 years, the Marxist government alienated its people by such historical blunders as the forcible acquisition of fertile agricultural land in Singur which forms part of the Hooghly constituency."[2]

The Dunlop tyre plant at Sahaganj, in this constituency is closed. According to Hindustan Times, "The entire jute industry, with eight mills in Hooghly, is sick…From Tribeni in north to Hind Motor in south, by the bank of Hooghly exists the Hooghly industrial belt, now seeking oxygen. Two fertiliser units, one food processing unit, two cotton mills, one steel plant and many other small and medium scale units have closed down over the years."[3]
