Raipur-Durg metro rail project: gives its approval
The Government of Chhattisgarh has given its approval to the Raipur-Durg metro rail project. This project is a part of the border vision of creating a State Capital Region (SCR) modelled after Delhi’s National Capital Region (NCR).
SCR aims to integrate Raipur, Nava Raipur Atal Nagar, and the Durg–Bhilai corridor into a coordinated urban framework. As a first step for the project, the state government has allocated an initial sum of Rs 5 crore in the 2024–25 state budget for conducting a comprehensive feasibility survey.
