As of 2019, as per an official release of the Press Information Bureau, Government of India, Madhu Tea Estate, with 947 affected workers, was closed.

The main reasons for closure of these gardens are attributed to poor yield of the estates, ageing bush profile and high vacancy percentage in tea area, negligible uprooting / replanting of age old tea bushes for years, poor garden management practices, falling quality and price realizations, overall lack of development perspective, highly debt oriented funding strategy and ownership disputes."

Other tea estates in West Bengal listed as closed were: Dheklapara, Bundapani, Dharanipur, Redbank, Surendranagar, Panighata and Manabarrie.

It is undulating country, largely forested, with numerous rivers flowing down from the outer ranges of the Himalayas in Bhutan.

A broad gauge rail line and Pucca road crossed along the side of Madhu Tea Estate.

The total number of literate people in Madhu Tea Garden was 2,735 (67.30% of the population over 6 years).
