The Planner's Dilemma - A Foreword to the Development Plan
of Naya Raipur

"What human beings need is not utopia ('no place') but entopia ('in place') a
real city which they can build, a place which satisfies the dreamer and is acceptable
to the scientist, a place where the artist and the builder merge"
Constantinos A. Doxiadis

Most cities and towns of today are the products of an evolutionary process in
which some of the larger villages or a cluster of villages have grown and diversified at
a faster pace than others. While census definitions of urban areas have usually
emphasized the size and diversified occupational structure of the population,
settlements too have grown in geographical size and often diversified in terms of their
functions as market places, administrative capitals, industrial centres or tourist towns.
No doubt, the growth and diversification of human settlements into towns and
cities have been aided by human interventions of many kinds of which the efforts to
plan their physical features or lend them a distinctive architectural character have been
of special interest to town planners, architects and historians. India takes pride in the
archeological evidence of planned cities as early as in 3000 B.C., though none of the
cities of Indus Valley Civilization period appear to have survived long enough to
influence the building of similar planned settlements, in later times. We also know of
Indraprastha and Pataliputra as planned cities of olden times but with no surviving
architectural features, they are remembered as little more than old names of todays
Delhi and Patna. Kurukshetra has become more of a metaphor for a battleground for
just causes than the name of a planned ancient city. A long history of invasions and
internecine wars among kings, regional chieftains and other war lords have left us
with only a few forts, temples and palaces of ancient or medieval India. There are not
many cities of even 17
th
or 18
th
centuries except perhaps J aipur, Udaipur and few
others that have been able to preserve their special architectural or planning features
up to the present day. Elsewhere, especially in Europe, some of the ancient as well as
medieval cities have survived the onslaught of time or marauders and retained much

ii
of their charm and physical features. The Roman towns in many parts of Europe are
living examples of the efforts of human beings to shape their habitations scientifically
and aesthetically.
In modern times, the end of the colonial era led to the emergence of new
nations as also the redrawing of national boundaries and of provinces within those
nations. This in turn necessitated creation of new cities or towns to serve as
administrative capitals of new nation states or their provinces. There are no doubt
some examples of new towns and cities developed by colonial governments too
essentially for administrative reasons like the creation of summer capitals in hill
stations or cantonment towns. There have also been more seriously planned cities of
colonial times like New Delhi and Canberra. Brasilia, Islamabad, Abuja and Putrajaya
are some of the new administrative capitals planned and developed in the post-
colonial era. Another set of planned townships that have come up in many parts of the
modern world are those developed by large industrial corporations especially the steel
and automobile makers. In India, Tata Iron and Steel Company developed the
planned township of J amshedpur which later inspired building of similar large
integrated townships especially by public sector undertakings. Bhilai, Rourkela and
Bokaro are large greenfield townships which have grown and spilled over to their
neighbourhoods to become some of the most cosmopolitan cities of India. The first
major effort after independence to develop a wholesome planned city in the country
culminated in the building of Chandigarh. Planned with painstaking details by a team
of architects and planners led by the redoubtable French architect Corbusier,
Chandigarh inspired the building of two more planned capital cities Bhubaneshwar
and Gandhinagar. Perhaps, the success of Chandigarh should have inspired the
building of many more planned green field towns and cities all across the country.
Though, this did not happen, preparation of master plans for existing cities and towns
and planned development of new city centres or satellite townships have indeed
become a serious preoccupation of many State Governments in the country.
Planning or building new cities have perhaps not been easy decisions for
governments or city authorities. More than the problems of mobilising the required

iii
financial or skilled human resources, perhaps, what has truly deterred them is the fear
of criticism of the location of the new cities, scope of the plans, the consultative
process involved and the administrative arrangements for management of the cities
once they are built. Planners and developers of new cities have to face many
dilemmas and deal with many imponderables. These include issues like how much of
history, heritage and culture of the region should or can be captured in the design of a
new city which is being built for future generations or may be how to balance
aesthetics and functionality. How much of the land could be set apart as open spaces
or for recreation without compromising the financial viability of the plans? How to
ensure that the plans promote social cohesion and also prevent the formation of illegal
or squatter settlements? Or say, how to devise a safe, reliable and energy efficient
transportation system for the city? Planning a robust management structure for the
planned city after it is built is another area of challenge. How does one build in
provisions against willful violations of planning norms by builders or the arbitrariness
of the city authorities themselves?
When the new state of Chhattisgarh was born on 1st of November 2000,
Raipur, the largest city of the state was named its capital. Raipur has for many
decades been a vibrant market place in central India. Yet, with an already burdened
civic infrastructure, it was ill-equipped to take on its newfound role as the
administrative capital of a rapidly growing state. There was a prolonged debate on the
need for a new city, its location and the mode of financing its development. It is
indeed a remarkable achievement that the people of Chhattisgarh and its political
leaders could arrive at a consensus on the building of a large green field city close to
Raipur. The new city which has been named Naya Raipur would at once serve as
the administrative capital of the State and also cater to the infrastructural needs of
industry and trade in the region. Many surveys and studies were undertaken before
deciding on the precise location of the city. Planners have taken into account the
existence of a number of human habitations, water bodies and wooded areas in the
proposed location and woven those features in to the physical plan of the city. The
development plan covers a total area of 237.42 sq.kms, out of which the core area

iv
alone would be spread over 95.22 sq.kms. Development would be undertaken in
phases and the target population for the city in 2031 is 5.6 lacs.
The Urban Design of Naya Raipur is a blend of the traditional with the
futuristic, lending elegance to its major physical features and providing a soothing
ambience to its inhabitants. Fast and convenient connectivity to Raipur and other
large cities of Chhattisgarh would receive utmost attention while finalizing the
transportation plan of the new city. Building an access controlled expressway from
National Highway No. 6 and a short railway line to the new city from the Raipur
Titlagarh Vizagapatnam railway line and integrating the two with an intra-city Bus
Rapid Transport System (BRT) would form the core of a mass transportation plan for
Naya Raipur. Dedicated bus lanes, cycling tracks and safe pedestrian walkways
would complement the BRT and help the development of an energy efficient and
environmentally sustainable city. The road sections and junctions would be designed
to be friendly for children and persons with physical disabilities.
Planning for housing of the citizens would be another major challenge. Here,
the emphasis would be on appropriate land allocation policies to ensure affordable
housing with acceptable quality levels for all sections of the population. The existing
villages in the planning area would be upgraded with modern civic amenities to
integrate them with the rest of the city. The Development Plan has set apart large
open spaces as well as areas for sports, recreation and entertainment. It would help
people of all walks of life to come together may be to watch a game of cricket at a
stadium, a boat ride with the children in a lake or may be just for a brisk walk in one
of the many parks.
The city is also expected to generate new employment opportunities for the
citizens. Government offices, the proposed business district, educational institutions
and entertainment complexes would generate most of the fresh employment. The plan
also provides for Industrial Parks for Information Technology, Gems and J ewellery,
Apparels, Handicrafts and other light non-polluting industries. Naya Raipur with
its high quality infrastructure should emerge as a major educational and cultural hub

v
for the entire state and all efforts would have to be made to achieve this potential. The
Institutional Area should be able to accommodate many national as well as state level
educational and training institutions, laboratories and research centers. Museums,
libraries, exhibition halls and theatres for live performances will also have to come up,
to enliven and enrich the city's cultural life.
Naya Raipur Development Authority which has prepared this development
plan with the help of a number of competent city planners and after a series of
consultations with professional organizations and special interest groups as well as
elected representatives of people realizes that it will have to live with another dilemma
for some more time. Being a green field city, Naya Raipur of today does not have a
body populace or a constituency of citizens of its own, who would dream about its
future, continuously, provide ideas and suggestions for its development, keep watch
over implementation schedules and jealously guard against unsavory interferences
with its plans. The city will fill up only slowly and it would be some more years
before it acquires a critical mass of vigilant citizens with a sense of belonging to a
planned, modern and eco-friendly city. We surely are not without friends till then and
are conscious that a large number of well wishers within and outside Chhattisgarh
would lend all support and encouragement to make Naya Raipur a model and a source
of inspiration for city planners, architects, builders and policy makers anywhere in the
world.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1 The Government of Chhattisgarh has envisaged the creation of a new city by the name of Naya
Raipur with state level administration functions. After various considerations a site in the south
east of Raipur, dotted with natural water bodies has been selected. The site is in the west of River
Mahanadi, a perennial source of water, in the middle of Naya Raipur Development Authority
(NRDA) Planning area.

2 The NRDA area is divided into 3 layers delineating the Naya Raipur, the peripheral and the
airport zone, as following:

Delineation of Planning Layers of the Naya Raipur & its Peripheral Region

SL. No. Layer Area Included
1 Layer-I The Proposed Naya Raipur (Area-80.13 sq.km.)
Including 500 meter wide green belt (Area-95.22 sq. km.)

2 Layer-II Naya Raipur Peripheral Region (NRPR) (Area-130.28 sq.km.)

3 Layer-III Airport Zone (Area-11.92 sq.km.)

3 Within the Naya Raipur Planning Area, 130.28 sq. km is identified as peripheral area to act as
buffer zone between the proposed Naya Raipur City and the existing Raipur. This will continue to
be agricultural / rural area but to be provided with adequate social facilities for the existing
population.

4 The airport zone is defined in the 11.92 sq. km area. Within the zone the airport could be extended
ultimately from present 1950 m to 3810 m runway.

5 Naya Raipur would be a planned and designed city of the 21
st
century to focus on socio-economic
and cultural life of Chhattisgarh having its role and recognition at national and international
levels. The New city is set in salubrious natural surroundings accessed by an express way. It is
envisaged as lively and vibrant city equipped with state of art physical, social and economic
infrastructure.

6 The new city is envisaged to be developed in phases for an estimated population of 5.6 lakh by the
year 2031. The first phase population by 2011 is estimated as 1.5 lakh.

7 The main economic base of Naya Raipur would be Government / State Capital functions.
However diversification of economic activities would be attained by providing (a) software
technology park (b) gems & jewellery and other similar industries (c) business offices (d) health
education and research services and (e) regional recreational activities like Golf Course, Safari
Park, and Botanical Garden. The capital complex and the business complex i.e. the CBD would be
the two busiest areas in the city.

8 The new city would be provided with housing for quality living with comfortable well designed

xviii
houses with required essential facilities for education, health, recreational, day-to-day shopping.
All section of the society to avail these essential community facilities. The new city would have
above one lakh twenty thousand dwelling units to be provided in partly plotted and partly flatted
developments divided within subsystem as following:

9 The Transport plan is proposed with the objective of high mobility for all and providing mass
transport system which is equitable and safe. The regional and city level transport is integrated
linking the city with regional rail, highway and airport. The envisaged hierarchy of roads by right
of way is:
City Arterial Road (100 m)
Sector peripheral (60 m)
Intra Sector Roads (24 m / 18m / 12m)
Parking standards for various activities area given to provide sufficient parking both in public and
private parking areas.

10 The city would be provided with high quality physical infrastructure. Mahanadi River has
perennial flow and is a dependable source of water. Based on norms to provide high quality
infrastructure, total water demand of 221 mld shall be supplied through this source. Water would
also be conserved through rainwater harvesting. Sewerage treatment plant with a total capacity of
150 mld, one for north and one for south is provided. The city would have two sanitary landfill
sites. It would be provided with 565 MVA power supply to nearly reach the standards of a
developed country and with high quality communication system.

11 Social infrastructure i.e. infrastructure for health, education, security, communication, socio-
cultural facilities has been proposed according to norms which are arguably the highest in the
country. Adequate provision of land has been made in the plan to provide an elaborate system of
social facilities at three levels of urban life, i.e. city level (for 5-6 lakh population), community
level (level 1-1.5 lakh population), and neighbourhood level (15-20,000 population).

12 The new city is developed in an area with a number of water bodies and plantations. The attempt
in the plan is to conserve all the existing water bodies and plantations. Energy conservation shall

xix
be encouraged through community and site planning, designing and use of energy efficient
materials and through landscaping.

13 The image of Naya Raipur will be a wide band of green running through the city interlaced with
lakes, intertwined in a central spine carrying the social facilities and utilities for each level of
urban community life. Apart from an intricate system of intra-city green spaces, Naya Raipur
proposes major open spaces at the city level and regional level larger than the greens in the major
world cities. The green band is reflected through sizeable area allocated for open spaces.

Areas for Recreational Areas at city level

1 Naya Raipur - Objectives and Approach
1.1 Objectives of Naya Raipur
A satellite city to Raipur holding Capital function is the primary identity of Naya Raipur. It will be
modern in the use of technology, uphold worthy traditions and core values, and conserve the
prevailing man- nature symbiotic culture as well as abundant natural & cultural assets in the region.
The citizens will be offered a wide range of living options with equity and dignity. The city will strive
to make an impact in the following role:
An agent of economic change and social transformation in the state.
An efficient engine of growth and prosperity.
A servicing hub not only in manufacturing of goods but also in Information Technology and Bio-
Technology sectors.
A financial centre of the region.
Hub of trade and hospitality sectors in Naya Raipur
Hub of cultural services which would supplement local economy.
Hub of affordable and high quality medical services.
Hub of quality educational facilities and strive to develop as a knowledge base.
However, the vision of the city in physical terms, i.e. its form and function in two as well as three
dimensional terms is delineated in a subsequent section.
For all the lofty or mundane purposes bestowed on this city, a comprehensive exercise was
undertaken to find a perfect location for it. An imaginary circle of 50 km radius was drawn around
Raipur and this massive area was divided into four quadrants. Each quadrant was analyzed in context
of regional development, existing development, climatic factors, flora and fauna, water resources,
transport network etc and the efforts yielded the present site southeast of Raipur at about 15 km
distance, close to Mana Airport. The site selection methodology and site profile are detailed out in
following chapters.
1.2 Methodology Adopted in Plan-Making
While venturing to prepare the Development Plan for Naya Raipur, basic studies were made in the
form of a secondary survey of data on Chandigarh (the first state capital of independent India) and
Raipur, the elder sister and the most important "organic" metropolis in the region.
Primary studies related to existing village population, site conditions, those related to water source/
water table etc were also carried out.
On the selected site, a thorough analysis was made of the given assets and constraints. From this
emerged a four-focus city structure, cruciform in shape. The foci are major work-centres, namely the
capital complex in the east, the freight complex/light industries in the north, the software hub in the
west and the institutional/tourist hub in the south. The activity corridors emerging from the four foci

2
intersect at the CBD/cultural complex/city park at the geographical centre of the city.
The space quantum against each activity/work-centre was then ascertained going by accepted thumb-
rule of the concerned industry/trade/activity, to case of capital complex, and government jobs exact
figures were taken into consideration. The resultant space quantum was then allocated on two-
dimension on the structure plan and final quantum, shape, location, was defined by exact
boundaries/roads on the plan. With iterations, the allocated spaces were again translated in terms of
number of jobs and the total number of jobs in the city arrived at. With a population of 5.6 lakhs, the
Naya Raipur City is expected to generate approximately 2.2 lakh jobs, with an assumed workforce
participation rate of 40%. The high standards of physical and social infrastructure adopted for the city
will be able to cope with the maximum capacity of the city.
1.3 Physical Plan, Feasibility and Implementation
The present Development Plan, published hereby, is essentially a physical plan, depicting policy
choices in all physical aspects of city, i.e uses of land, housing, work activities, leisure, transportation
and communication, physical and social infrastructure etc. A rudimentary feasibility check has been
done to understand the necessary fund sources and flow, how and from where the city will start and
grow therefrom, the sources of revenue etc. This is a supporting exercise to assure that the policy
choices and the basic land use allocation is feasible and over time and in the planned manner the city
will be able to reach its goals.
It is envisaged that the NRDA will prepare detail plans within the prescribed zones of Development
Plan. Various sizes of plots shall be carved out and allotted after assigning plot level land use as
permissible within the given zone.
For certain areas, the NRDA may dispose land in bulk, e.g. one whole residential sector of 64 ha, for
which design brief shall be a pre-condition for allotment. Similar design brief may be prepared for
projects like IT Park, Golf Course etc.
A detailed feasibility study has been separately carried out, which charts out definite path for funds,
phasing, revenues, and city management. This study corroborates the same basic assurance offered by
the rudimentary study. However, only the rudimentary feasibility study and not the details have been
made part of the Development Plan.
1.4 Planning and Management of the City
Under the Chhattisgarh Nagar Tatha Gram Nivesh Adhiniyam 1973, and C.G. Bhumi vikash rules
1984 the Naya Raipur Development Authority has been formed as a Special Area Development
Authority to plan, implement and administer Naya Raipur. The NRDA is already working out the
future tasks, which will be added on to its kitty especially in light of the 74
th
Constitutional
Amendment.
At present an area of 237.42 sq. km is delineated fully under the control of NRDA, detailed as under:
Naya Raipur City with green belt (Planning Layer I) 95.22 sq km- (Proposed as City Proper

3
to be acquired in bulk with a 500 m green belt around)
Tasks-Complete control in plan making, implementation and administration
Peripheral Zone (Layer II ) 130.10 sq.km. - (Proposed as predominantly rural area with
ancillary facilities and suitable uses, not to be acquired in bulk)
Tasks- Plan making, basic infrastructure provision, development permission, administration
Airport Zone (Layer III) 11.92 sq km- ( land to be acquired in bulk and handed over to
Airport Authority of India for implementation according to their plan after concurrence by
NRDA)
The NRDA is expected to be corroborated by the following agencies among others, in executing its
mammoth responsibilities.
Chhattisgarh State Housing and Environment Department
Chhattisgarh Housing Board - Building model housing colony for a cross section of
government employees and officers in the state.
Chhattisgarh State Electricity Board
Chhattisgarh public Health Engineering Department and Water Resource Department -
Water supply and lake linking project for the city.

2 Site Selection
2.1 Introduction
The state of Chhattisgarh was constituted on 1
st
November 2000, thereby opening up new
opportunities for development in the region. The state of Chhattisgarh envisions itself as a modern
state to provide its people with improved quality of life. It was in conformity with this broad vision
that the Government of Chhattisgarh envisaged the creation of a new Capital City by the name of
Naya Raipur for the State that would not only establish the States identity, but also depict the hopes
and aspirations of the people of Chhattisgarh.
2.2 Methodology for Site Selection
Raipur, the present day State capital has an immense potential to develop into a metropolis on account
of its location and its growing importance as a major node in the trade network of Central India.
Considering this latent value of the present day capital Raipur, it was decided to locate Naya Raipur
the proposed new city in close proximity to Raipur. Accordingly, a region of 50 km radius around
Raipur was demarcated for selecting a site for the Naya Raipur city. The final site was selected after a
detailed analysis based on the site suitability criteria with respect to several parameters (Refer fig.
2.1).

2.2.1 Transport and Infrastructure
The existing transport and other physical infrastructure with potential for augmentation to fulfil the
new citys demand is an important determinant for deciding the location of the proposed city. Good
connectivity by road and rail is an important decisive factor to decide the success of the project. (Refer
map 2.1)
2.2.1.1 Roadways
There are four major roads within the site selection region viz., three National Highways, namely;
NH-6, NH-200 and NH-43 and one State Highway i.e. SH-5.
NH-6: On the west it connects the region with Nagpur as
also Nasik and Mumbai through NH-2 after Dhule. On
the east it connects Sambalpur and leads to Kolkata.
While the stretch of NH-6 between the city of Raipur and
Durg handles major volume of traffic because of the
tremendous interdependence and interaction of the
industrial towns of Bhilai, Durg, Borai industrial growth
centre and the capital city of Raipur, the stretch beyond
Raipur towards Sambalpur handles relatively less volume
of traffic and thus has the potential of handling higher
volume of traffic in future.
NH 200: It connects Raipur with Bilaspur. The stretch of
NH-200 lying within the concerned region has potential
mining belts on both the sides, cement plants and two
industrial growth centers of Orla and Siltara in its vicinity
thus making it highly prone to present and future heavy
traffic volume.
NH-43: This road connects Raipur with Koraput and
Bheemunipatnam on the south-east and further to
Vishakhapatnam through NH-5. This road links the
concerned region with the port city of Vishakhapatnam.
Thus this is a major road handling goods traffic to and
from Bhilai and Raipur to Vishakhapatnam.
SH-5 links Raipur with Dhamtari where it connects with
NH-43 and has the potential to act as a major reliever to
NH-43 in handling goods and passenger traffic, within
the concerned region.
The other important road is the one connecting Raipur to Baloda Bazar passing through the
prospective mining area and with the potential of handling high traffic volume while putting this area
under intensive economic use.
Thus the potential roads for future linkages to the capital city are the stretches of NH-6 from Raipur
towards Sambalpur and the NH-43 stretch from Raipur to Abhanpur.

2.2.1.2 Railways
The region enjoys very good railway connectivity. The railway lines run almost parallel to the
National and State Highways. The main Mumbai Howrah railway line passes through Raipur
dividing the region into two halves, namely the Northern and the Southern halves. The other railway
lines are from Raipur to Bilaspur and Raipur to Visakhapatnam. The existing railway stations within
the delineated region are as listed below:
2.2.1.3 Airways
There are three airports in the sub-region. Two of the three existing airports near Tilda and Jamul
are private while the one at Mana is public. The Mana airport is about 13 km away from the city of
Raipur towards the South East. This
airport presently has limited
facilities.
2.2.2 Availability of Water
Resources
The region delineated for location of
the proposed new city is dotted with
water bodies in the form of lakes,
ponds, rivers and irrigation canals.
Water from the three lakes -
Kumhari, Pirdaon and Kurud can be
tapped for supplying water to the
Naya Raipur. The ground water is
available at a depth of around 250 ft.
to 400 ft. Three rivers cross the
delineated region River Mahanandi
is a perennial river while the other
two viz., Seonath and Kharun are
seasonal rivers (Refer fig. 2.9).
River Mahanandi being perennial in nature is also reinforced with water from Pairi and Sukha and has
the capacity to discharge the requisite amount of water for the proposed Naya Raipur.

2.2.3 Land Availability & Suitability
2.2.3.1 Availability of Government Land
The availability of Government land has an important bearing on the site selection process as cost and
time spent for land acquisition can be reduced substantially with the utilization of Government land.
Refer figure 2.10 for the availability of government land in the different Tehsils of Durg, Dhamda,
Patan, Abhanpur, Tilda and Raipur. High concentration of huge chunks of Government owned land is
present along the river Mahanadi near Arang & Abhanpur and between the Baloda Bazar Road and
Kharun River.

Fig 2.9: The Rivers within the Site Selection Region

2.2.3.2 Land otherwise unsuitable for Agriculture, Mining and Quarrying
The region is well irrigated with a double cropping pattern being practised in the Raipur district.
Therefore it would be prudent to locate the site for the capital city so that it has least effect on
agricultural land. Abhanpur Tehsil on the south-eastern quadrant has some upland / marginal land,
which is unsuitable for agriculture. Moreover, this land does not contain the mining areas.
2.2.3.3 Land with development-friendly Contours and other physical features
In general, the land in the site selection region gently slopes towards the west. The highest contour
level as indicated on the topo-sheet is 320 m above the sea level. The region has various physical
features in the form of lakes the largest being located near Bhilai, uplands, dispersed forest covers,
etc. The region surrounding Mandir Hasaud also has a number of big water bodies.
2.2.3.4 Land with few existing Human Settlements
The abadi areas are uniformly distributed over the fertile rice cultivated plain of the Mahanadi. Thus,
the uplands/marginal lands will be favourable for the location of Naya Raipur (Refer map 2.2).

10
2.2.3.5 Land with minimum Forest Cover and Wildlife
The site selection region does not have a widespread forest cover except for some protected forests
near Tilda, Mohrenga, Kendri and around the confluence of Mahanadi and Sukha river.
2.2.4 Environmental Considerations
The mining areas are mostly located to the north of the region stretching from northwest to northeast.
The cement plant at Siltara is in the northern part of the region and the Bhilai Steel Plant, Borai
Industrial growth centre and ACC cement plant are located on the western side of the region along the
NH-6. These are the air polluting zones as huge quantities of dust and smoke emanate from the
various industrial and mining activities in the region.
The predominant wind flow is from the southwest direction. However, in the post-monsoon and
winter months the predominant wind direction is from the northeast. The trend starts varying from the
month of March and by April the wind direction is from west and southwest. The wind speed in
general ranges between 2.9 km. per hr. to 8.69 km. per hr.

Morning Evening
JAN C/NE C/NE 2.9

AUG SW/W W/SW 8.69
NOV C/NE C/NE 3.22
It is quite evident that the dust and pollution laden air zone stretches from south-west to north-east as
these zones contain the mining and the industrial belt. Thus, environmentally the southeastern part of
the site selection region is the non-polluting zone and is suitable for the location of the Naya Raipur.
2.2.4.1 Land conducive to Drainage and Effluent Discharge
In general, the region delineated for site selection has good drainage and irrigation network (Refer
map 2.3). However, the effluent will need to be treated before disposal and this must happen in the
downstream area, i.e. towards the northern side. It appears that the S-E Quadrant has the potential for
a well-planned drainage and effluent discharge system and is, therefore, suitable for locating the city .
2.2.4.2 Economic Catalysts
The presence of industrial growth centers (industrial, economic activity centre) on the northern and
the western side of the delineated region would acts as an economic catalyst for the overall
development of the new Capital City Region (Refer fig 4.11). The following industries in the vicinity
are bound to play a role in the progress of the Region and the State as a whole.
Cement plants (such as ACC and Century) on the northern and western side of Raipur city.
The Bhilai steel plant on the western side.
The mining site on the northern side of NH-6

11

2.2.5 Presence of Airport
An airport acts as an engine of economic growth. The
setting of the Naya Raipur with respect to the location of
the airport is thus an important factor where the
proximity to the airport gives the added benefit of
improved connectivity.
2.2.6 Quadrant Analysis
After an analysis of the different quadrants based on the
various parameters discussed in the foregoing sections,
the southeast quadrant was found to be most suitable for
the locating the proposed new Capital City (Refer fig
2.12).

Fig 2.13: Location of Naya Raipur, Chhattisgarh
Strengths of the southeast quadrant:
Availability of water due to proximity to Mahanadi River and Mahanadi Canal.
Absence of mining area
Availability of barren/non-agricultural land
Abundant availability of government owned land
Proximity to Raipur City
Proximity to NH-6 and NH-43
Conducive traffic condition on NH-43 and NH-6 for providing accessibility to the new City
Proximity to the Raipur-Vizainagaram and Mumbai-Kolkata Railway Line
Presence of natural features like water bodies for creation of recreational spots in the city
Proximity to the Airport, but availability of land outside the restricted Air Funnel zone.
Zone free from pollution due to industrial centres.
The other important factors that have been taken into consideration for deciding the spatial location of
the Naya Raipur is
i. The New Capital City should not be so close to the present day capital city of Raipur that both
the old and the new cities merge together due to agglomerating effect and the befitting image
of the New Capital City is put to jeopardy.
ii. The site should not be so distant that Naya Raipur has a completely independent existence and
the existing Raipur City becomes irrelevant.
2.2.7 Proposed Site
Based on a detailed analysis of the region delineated for the location of Naya Raipur, a site has been
selected about 15 km away to the southeast of the existing Raipur. The site enjoys the advantage of
the presence of the Mahanadi Canal on the southeastern side and the NH-43 on the southwestern side.
The existing airport is situated between Raipur city and Naya Raipur.

3.5.1.1 Topography
The site has a gentle topography with its slope ranging from 0% to 5%. The flat terrain with natural
drains flowing towards Northeast direction allows unhindered flexibility for an efficient transportation
system.
3.5.1.2 Drainage Pattern
The NRDA area is dotted with water bodies in the form of lakes, ponds, nallas and irrigation canals.
The area falls in the irrigation command of Left Main Canal System, on the eastern side.
3.5.1.3 Geology
The Naya Raipur and its Peripheral Region fall under three stages of geological formation viz., Raipur
Stage (Chandi Formation), Charmuria Stage and Gundardehi. As per IS:1984, Criteria for
Earthquake Resistant Design of Structures, the Naya Raipur Site including the Raipur city falls under
Seismic Zone I which is considered fairly stable against seismic forces.
