About Raipur

Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh (formed in 2000 from Madhya Pradesh), is one of India's fastest-developing cities. The city sits on a rich seam of iron ore and coal, making it a major hub for the steel industry — Bhilai Steel Plant, operated by SAIL, is located 20 km away and is one of India's largest steel producers. Raipur is developing Naya Raipur (Atal Nagar) as a greenfield smart city to house the state capital. The Jungle Safari in Naya Raipur is one of the largest man-made jungles in Asia. The city retains its traditional character in the old city around Telibandha Talab (lake) while rapidly modernizing with malls, flyovers, and the IIT Bhilai campus.
