Founded on 20th August 1985 in collaboration with Bhilai Steel Plant (SAIL), Delhi Public School Bhilai was built on 16 acres of land provided by the steel giant - making it one of the few schools in Chhattisgarh with both a steel-town origin story and a campus to match. Situated in Risali Sector, Bhilai, the school operates under The Delhi Public School Society, New Delhi, a non-profit organisation dedicated to quality education across India and abroad. What began with 204 students in Classes VI–IX has grown into a community of 5,382 students from Nursery to Class XII, supported by 190 teachers - a scale that places it among the most established CBSE schools in Durg district.

In the SSCE 2025 Class XII examinations, 392 out of 406 students secured first division — a pass rate of 96.55%. Science stream topper Ayati Bijoria scored 98%, while Commerce topper Saksham Agrawal achieved 97.60%. A total of 74 students scored 90% and above, and 28 students earned A1 grades in all five subjects. The school offers both Science and Commerce streams at the senior secondary level, with subjects including Biotechnology, Engineering Graphics, Geography, and Home Science alongside the standard offerings.

The campus is divided into a Primary Wing (Nursery to Class V) and a Senior Wing (Class VI to XII), each with dedicated infrastructure. The Primary Wing features an auditorium, art, craft, music and dance rooms, a demonstration lab, computer lab, maths lab, A.V. room, playroom, and library. The Senior Wing adds Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Home Science, Geography, Language, and Computer labs, alongside a sports complex with an indoor swimming pool and gymnasium, an M.P. Hall, a conference hall, and a hostel for both boys and girls. The school has also received the British Council ISA Award, and maintains a structured counselling programme covering academic, behavioural, and career guidance.
