Inter State Bus Terminal, Raipur

Shri Balaji Swami Trust Sri Dudhadhari Math Inter State Bus Terminal, locally known as ISBT Bhatagaon, is a newly constructed hi-tech bus terminal situated on 25 acres in the Ravanbhata–Bhatagaon area of Raipur, Chhattisgarh. It is the first ISBT in Chhattisgarh and the largest bus station in Central India, with a capacity to handle 300 buses daily, offering a range of facilities to passengers. The terminal serves as an Interstate Bus Terminal, providing bus services to passengers from neighboring states such as Maharashtra, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Jharkhand. The primary purpose of constructing this terminal was to replace the Minimata Agam Dass Guru Bus Stand in Pandri, which had been causing traffic congestion and safety concerns. The new terminal, located on the outskirts of Raipur City, aims to alleviate these issues. The ISBT Bhatagaon was inaugurated by Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on 20 August 2021. The terminal became operational on 15 November 2021, aligning with the occasion of Devotthan Ekadashi. Following its opening, the 28-year-old Pandri Bus Stand was permanently closed.
