It is a part of the area covered by Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA).

[1][2][3] Bally is located at 22°39′N 88°20′E / 22.65°N 88.34°E / 22.65; 88.34 and also the northernmost part of Howrah city.

It is more elevated in the west than the east (where flows the Hoogly river), thus leading to a problem of water logging.

A Bridge was constructed over Bally Canal in 1846 to join the two localities.

State Highway 6/ Grand Trunk Road and Belghoria Expressway also pass through Bally.
