In a high-level meeting at Mantralaya Mahanadi Bhawan chaired by Chief Secretary Vikasheel, the Public Private Partnership Appraisal Committee (PPPAC) of the Chhattisgarh State Industrial Development Corporation (CSIDC) approved a multi-city PPP infrastructure package targeting industrial growth and convention/logistics infrastructure (~12 May 2026).
- Bilaspur — Transport Nagar: dedicated truck terminal, logistics-handling, parking and trader complex
- Nava Raipur — World-Class Convention Centre: MICE-grade venue at the new capital
- Bhilai — Commercial Tower & Flatted Factory Building: vertical industrial / SME workshop space
- Dhamtari (Chhati) & Balodabazar (Chanderi): new industrial areas to be developed by CSIDC under PPP
- Mode: Public–Private Partnership (PPP) under CSIDC
The package is intended to simplify investment, accelerate execution and strengthen Chhattisgarh's industrial corridor — particularly the Bilaspur–Bhilai–Raipur belt, while opening new urban-industrial zones in Dhamtari and Balodabazar districts.
