Raigarh district is a district of the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh. Raigarh is the district headquarters.
The district was formed by merging the princely states of Raigarh, Sakti, Sarangarh, Udaipur and Jashpur.[1] Jashpur is now a separate district. Sakti is now not a part of Raigarh district. Sarangarh was also Separated in 2021.
It is rapidly growing as an industrial district of Chhattisgarh. One of the oldest jute mills of India is situated here, Mohan jute mill; it was the only Jute Mill of the state Chhattisgarh and undivided Madhya Pradesh. Raigarh is one of the major producers of steel and power in the country. Here are situated many steel and power plants such as JSPL, MSP, Monnet steel, and many other small and medium producers. The volume can be judged by the statement that Raigarh itself is consuming about 20,000 tons of coal per day.[citation needed]
