What happened
The city entry describes Nava Raipur as planned to replace Raipur as the capital city of Chhattisgarh, with the Government of Chhattisgarh situated there, and states NRDA is the nodal agency undertaking comprehensive development of this greenfield city, with chief executive officers appointed by government (Wikipedia: Nava Raipur).
A smart-cities catalogue lists Bilaspur, Naya Raipur and Raipur among the mission cities, supporting Naya Raipur's smart-city status (Wikipedia: Smart Cities Mission). The authority's own domain identifies Naya Raipur Development Authority (navaraipuratalnagar.com).
Recent Nava Raipur activity in September 2026 includes: Chhattisgarh's upcoming film city to open new opportunities for artists and technicians, dated September 22, 2026; Nava Raipur Open golf lead dated September 17, 2026; a mines-ministry roadshow on critical mineral block auctions at Nava Raipur on August 31; plus a June 23, 2025 piece describing Nava Raipur as becoming the capital it was meant to be as edu city, spiritual city and IT city (ThePrint search pages for Nava Raipur and Chhattisgarh film city Nava Raipur).
Official mission and state portals (smartcities.gov.in; DIPAM; cag.gov.in) were opened but returned no extractable project-level sentences for Raipur/Bilaspur/Naya Raipur SPVs, and dedicated Raipur/Bilaspur smart-city domains did not resolve, so incorporation, shareholding, financials and staffing are left null (see caveats).
What we could not confirm
Dedicated Raipur Smart City / Bilaspur Smart City SPV sites (raipursmartcity.in, bilaspursmartcity.in) did not resolve (ENOTFOUND); smartcities.gov.in and state NIC portals returned no extractable sentences or refused connections, so SPV incorporation (CIN), 50:50 shareholding, project costs, completion percentages, revenue and staffing could not be confirmed and are left null. Constituting Act, establishment year and administrative department also not confirmed in pages opened. NRANVP is treated as the urban local-body/development-authority enterprise for the Naya Raipur smart-city/greenfield city.
