Regular bus services connect Silchar with Guwahati, Shillong, Aizawl, Agartala and Imphal through NH 37 and NH 53. However during the rainy seasons, heavy downpour affects the Silchar-Agartala route causing frequent landslides which affects the road transportation.

There is an Inter State Bus and an Inter State Truck Terminus which was constructed in the year 2005. The under construction four lane East - West corridor will connect Silchar in the east with Saurashtra in the west. The two cities are the centre for business activities and consequently hundreds of people commute between these two.  Silchar to Agartala kilometre will reduce saving time and tedious journey.
