In the morning time no Intercity is there from Raipur towards Titlagarh/Vzm ( except Samta Exp in which occupancy is average. so it would get good patronage. however, as all the stations are small towns/hamlets including Titlagarh, getting full 8C AC Chair car occupancy would take some time ( may be 2-3 years to settle). Here also like Jbp - Raipur route, running an Intercity/JS would have been a better choice.
