Chhattisgarh Infrastructure

The Government of Chhattisgarh (GOCG) proposes to

establish a Herbal & Medicinal Park (H&M) in the State.

The proposed site has 224 acres and is located in Villages

named Banjari and Bagaudh,Tehsil Kurudh,District

Dhamtari.

The project of Chhattisgarh Infrastructure aims to

provide state-of-the-art Herbal Park to promote

Pre-Processing, Intermediaries Processing,

Manufacturing and Trading of Herbal & Medicinal

Products.

The planning of the on-site infrastructure including

specialized infrastructure facilities within the Park is

being made. Entrepreneurs would set up their

Processing/ Trading units in the Park.

The Government of Chhattisgarh will facilitate

the off-site infrastructure. To enhance the

marketability of the project, CIDC had invited

expression of Interest from various established

industries for setting-up their units in the park

and has received fairly good response.

The project will be implemented on Public

Private Partnership (PPP) format through a

Special Purpose Company (SPC).GOCG

will provide land to the developer on long

lease of 90 years.

In the sector of Chhattisgarh

Infrastructure, the state has developed a lot

in the field of roadways, railways and

airports.

Chhattisgarh is in the central part of the country

which is well connected by all weather roads and

comprises 12 national highways.These highways

constitute 2,289 km of roads in the region while the

state highways account for 5,240 km.

In the railways sector, state has a strong

railway network and falls under the

jurisdiction of the South East Central

Railways.

The two major railway stations in the state are

Raipur and Bilaspur. The highest freight loading

capacity in India is recorded in Chhattisgarh and

around one-sixth of the revenue of Indian

Railways comes from this state.

The state government has also planned to construct about 300

km of rail network in the region. To take this initiative ahead,

the government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding

with South Eastern Coalfields and IRCON International. The

main objective of the project is to have two rail corridors - East

Corridor and the East-West Corridor.

Chhattisgarh has two domestic airports and eight air

strips in Bhilai, Bilaspur, Korba, Raigarh, Jagdalpur,

Ambikapur, Jashpur Nagar and Sarangarh. The Airport

Authority of India has plans to build Raigarh and

Bilaspur in the state in future.

Chhattisgarh, the developing tourist spot, has developed its

physical infrastructure to attract the attention of domestic as well as

foreign investors. The transport has been given immense focus as

the state has nearly 24,678 kilometres of national highway that

accounts for the 71% of total road infrastructure in the state.

The strong factor of the huge investment in state is the large road

network. For improving the Chhattisgarh Infrastructure, the

National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is planning to

develop five national highway projects aggregating 450 km

through private sector participation so as to meet the state's

growing transport requirements. The Asian Development Bank

will give funds to upgrade the state’s highway network.
