Durg is undergoing a major transformation with infrastructure projects collectively exceeding INR 5,000 crore. Key among them is the 92 km Durg-Raipur-Arang Expressway under Bharatmala, set to cut travel time to Raipur to just 20 minutes by 2025. A metro feasibility study linking Raipur and Durg is also underway with a INR 5 crore allocation. Industrial growth is supported by new conveyor belt and farm equipment units, while NSPCL plans a 250 MW power addition in Bhilai. With the proposed 530 km Raipur-Hyderabad Expressway also passing through, Durg is poised to become a central industrial and transport hub in Chhattisgarh.
Durg, a pivotal industrial city in Chhattisgarh, is undergoing a transformative phase with several infrastructure projects aimed at enhancing connectivity, industrial capacity, and urban development. Advertisement
A significant development is the construction of the Durg-Raipur-Arang Expressway, a 92 km six-lane, access-controlled greenfield expressway under the Bharatmala Pariyojana. This expressway is designed to reduce travel time between Durg and Raipur to approximately 20 minutes, passing through key areas such as Anjora, Patora, Supkona, Abhanpur, and Naya Raipur before terminating at Arang. The project commenced in June 2023 and is scheduled for completion by May 2025.
Additionally, the proposed Raipur-Hyderabad Expressway, spanning 530 km, will traverse through Durg, connecting it to major cities like Rajnandgaon, Gadchiroli, and Hyderabad. This expressway aims to bolster trade and mobility across central and southern India.
The Chhattisgarh government has allocated INR 5 crore for a feasibility study of the Raipur-Durg metro rail project. This initiative aims to modernize urban transport, reduce congestion, and provide efficient connectivity between the two cities.
Durg is witnessing industrial growth with new manufacturing projects:; a conveyor belt manufacturing unit in Bhilai which aims to produce 20,000 meters of conveyor belts annually and an agricultural tools manufacturing project in Kandarka, which aims to produce 1,050 metric tons per annum of equipment such as harrows, scarifiers, and cultivators.? Both projects have received the necessary environmental clearances, signaling a boost to the local manufacturing sector.
NSPCL (NTPC-SAIL Power Company Limited), a joint venture between NTPC and SAIL, operates a captive power plant in Bhilai, Durg, with a total installed capacity of 814 MW. The company has plans for further capacity addition, including a proposed 250 MW unit in Bhilai, to meet the growing power demands of the region.
These multifaceted infrastructure projects are poised to redefine Durg's economic and urban profile, positioning the city as a key player in Chhattisgarh's development trajectory.
