The Gevra–Raipur corridor is one of the busiest coal routes in Chhattisgarh — and the one our trucks run every single day. Here is what a plant buyer, transporter or auditor should know about it, in plain numbers.
SECL Gevra sits in the Korba coalfield. By road, Gevra to Raipur is approximately 200–215 km depending on the plant's exact location and the corridor taken (via Bilaspur on NH-130/NH-30). A loaded tipper or trailer typically covers it in 5–7 hours of driving, subject to loading queues, weighbridge time and checkpost movement.
Under the e-way bill rules, validity for normal cargo runs one day for every 200 km or part thereof. At roughly 200–215 km, a Gevra→Raipur consignment gets 2 days of validity — comfortable for a same-day or next-morning delivery, but tight if a truck is held at loading. Our dispatch board tracks every bill's expiry so a load is never caught stale at a checkpoint.
Three things stall coal on this corridor: an e-way bill that expires mid-route, a weight mismatch beyond tolerance, and paperwork that doesn't match the vehicle. Our answer is boring and effective: bills raised before the truck leaves the mine, both weighments recorded to the kilogram with shortage beyond 50 kg recovered transparently, and vehicle numbers matched on every document.

Freight on Gevra→Raipur is quoted per MT and moves with diesel, season and mine-side loading conditions. Send us the tonnage and delivery point and the dispatch desk replies the same business day.
