Hi @PankajDokania, This is one of the most stressful stretch that you are going to do as the road conditions aren't so great. 3 days for it will be a comfortable drive but, 2 days will be a really hectic task to complete your whole leg of travel.

Make sure you start very early in the morning around 4  AM on both the days if its a 2 day plan breaking a night stay at Nagpur.

 

Suggested best route for a 3 day plan:

Day 1:

Mumbai - Igatpuri - Shirdi - Aurangabad - Amravati (Night Stay)

Day 2:

Amravati - Nagpur - Bhilai - Sambhalpur (Night Stay)

Day 3:

Sambhalpur - Ranchi - Dhanbad

 

Note: You Day - 2 and Day - 3 will the most strenuous drive due to bad roads and a lot of truck traffic.

 

This is best as per my knowledge.

That is driving though some of the worst roads in the country.

Safety wise it wont be a problem as long as you plan to drive only during day time.

You can to do it via Pune > Hyderabad > Kolkata 

But I feel distance is high.

 

But roads are good on this route.

Most of it is a 4-lane toll road. 

 

Only 50 Kilometres of it  is a bad road. 

 

Which car are you driving?

You can do it via Orissa but add an extra day to your travel time... That route will be  Mumbai - Pune - Hyderabad - Vishakapatanam - Puri - Dhanbad

or Mumbai - Pune - Hyderabad - Nagpur - Ranchi  - Dhanbad.

 

I would suggest you to do the 3 days drive instead of the other 2 options given. The route after Nagpur are a pain.
