Indore Metro Seeks Tenders For Line 1 Soil Study

Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation has invited tenders for a geotechnical investigation study covering a 5-kilometre stretch of Line 1 of the Indore Metro project. The contract relates to underground stations and tunnels between Khajrana Station and Indore Railway Station.

According to the tender details, the bid process opened on 8 January 2026 and will close on 9 February 2026. The tender carries an earnest money deposit of Rs 0.35 million and has an estimated contract value of Rs 17.5 million. The duration of the assignment has been set at 120 days.

The scope of work includes a detailed geotechnical investigation for the proposed underground stations and tunnel alignment along the 5 km section, which forms part of Line 1 of the Indore Metro Rail Project. The study will support design and construction planning for underground infrastructure on the corridor.

Phase 1 of the Indore Metro project consists of a single metro corridor, known as the Yellow Line, spanning 33.53 kilometres. The corridor connects Palasia, Indore Railway Station, Rajwada, the airport, Bhawarsala, MR10 and returns to Palasia as part of a ring alignment.

At present, a 6-kilometre Super Priority Corridor is operational. This section was inaugurated on 31 May 2025 by Narendra Modi and includes five stations: Gandhi Nagar, Super Corridor 6, Super Corridor 5, Super Corridor 4 and Super Corridor 3.

The latest tender marks another step towards expanding the underground network of the Indore Metro, which is expected to improve urban mobility across the city once fully completed.
