Indore Metro Underground Route Extended to 12 km

11 Nov 2025 CW Team

In a major update to the Indore Metro project, the underground section will now extend to 12 kilometres instead of the previously planned 8.7 kilometres. The revised design will increase the overall project cost by about Rs 1 billion and delay its completion.

Originally estimated at Rs 15 billion, the project’s cost will now rise due to the decision to lengthen the underground route and conduct new technical assessments. The changes were approved during a recent city development meeting, where officials decided the metro line would go underground from the Khajrana area.

The modification will necessitate a new survey, soil testing, and design revisions, particularly near Bengali Chouraha, where the rocky terrain may slow down construction progress.

Urban Development Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya confirmed that the additional cost will be borne by the state government. However, fresh approvals from both the state cabinet and the Central Government will be required before construction can resume.
