Business in Raipur: where dues come from
Raipur and the Urla-Siltara belt hold hundreds of steel, sponge-iron and rolling mills whose suppliers and transporters carry large dues, alongside rice millers and cement dealers. Steel trade payments are often cheque-based and high-value, so Section 138 and recovery suits are frequent routes here.
Main industries: steel, sponge iron and rolling mills, cement, rice mills and agri-trading, mining supply, construction.
