Bhilai, Industrial city in Durg district, India

Bhilai stretches across 341 square kilometers along the Shivnath River banks, maintaining an elevation of 452 meters above sea level in Chhattisgarh state.

The Indian government collaborated with the Soviet Union in 1955 to establish the Bhilai Steel Plant, transforming a small village into an industrial center.

The name Bhilai originates from the indigenous Bhil tribe, who inhabited the surrounding forests and shaped the regional heritage through generations.

The city connects to major urban centers through National Highway 53, railway stations on the Howrah-Mumbai line, and Raipur International Airport at 50 kilometers distance.

The Bhilai Steel Plant manufactured rails for Indian Railways, contributing to the construction of railway tracks across the entire national network.
