Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh, has expanded from its traditional city centre into a much larger urban area covering residential colonies, commercial districts, industrial belts, educational campuses and the Nava Raipur-Atal Nagar side. These areas are served by different India Post delivery offices.
Raipur Head Office uses 492001, while Pandri uses 492004, Shankar Nagar uses 492007, WRS Colony uses 492008, Raipur Ganj uses 492009 and Ravi Shankar University uses 492010. Areas such as Sundar Nagar, Saddu, Mana and Tatibandh also have separate postal codes.
The tables below bring together major Raipur PIN codes in an easy area-wise format. For an exact house, office or apartment address, it is still best to match the PIN with the delivery post office printed on an official document.

Why Do Raipur Localities Have Different PIN Codes?
Raipur has grown beyond the old city into several planned and suburban zones. India Post assigns PIN codes according to delivery offices and routes, so nearby residential areas may be served by different post offices.
Understanding a Raipur PIN Code
Raipur city PIN codes generally begin with 492. The remaining digits identify the delivery route and post office. A locality name alone is not always enough, especially in expanding areas around Mana, Saddu and Nava Raipur.
How to Confirm the Right Raipur PIN
Use the PIN printed on a utility bill, property document, bank letter or earlier delivered parcel for the same address. For new colonies and apartment projects, the builder’s marketing locality name may differ from the actual delivery post office.
