It is 120 km (75 mi) from Raipur, capital of Chhattisgarh and is one of the fastest growing economic centers of India.

Khariar Road is surrounded by some small mountains, part of the Eastern Ghats.

Overall, it has a good topography, but in the summer, it faces water scarcity as the river level decreases.

In the last 15 to 20 years, Khariar Road has grown to become one of the most growing economic and business hubs in Nuapada.

As it is near the border of Chhattisgarh and is also just 10 km (6.2 mi) from Nuapada, it has an easy access and transport facility for trading.
