in the field of roadways, railways and
airports.

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.

railway network and falls under the
jurisdiction of the South East Central
Railways.

10. 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.

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

the state has nearly 24,678 kilometres of national highway that
accounts for the 71% of total road infrastructure in the state.

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

growing transport requirements. The Asian Development Bank
will give funds to upgrade the state’s highway network.
