Hoogly constituency, shares a large industrial area on the western bank of the Hooghly river in the district with [[Serampore Lok Sabha constituency|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."<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.thestatesman.net/news/45833-a-quadrilateral-fight-in-hooghly.html|title =A Quarilateral Fight in Hooghly | publisher = The Statesman, 23 March 2014|access-date = 13 June 2014 }}</ref>

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, Hooghly|Tribeni]] in north to [[Hindmotor|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."<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/industrial-belt-seeks-makeover/article1-692873.aspx | archive-url = https://archive.today/20140616080443/http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/industrial-belt-seeks-makeover/article1-692873.aspx | url-status = dead | archive-date = 16 June 2014 |title =Industrial belt seeks makeover | publisher = Hindustan Times, 3 May 2011|access-date = 13 June 2014 }}</ref>
