Madhya Pradesh pushes Indore-Ujjain Metro project, DPR under review

25 Apr 2026 CW Team

According to sources, the review process is focusing on key aspects such as station locations, route alignment and the feasibility of underground stretches. The DPR initially proposed 11 stations along the corridor, but authorities indicated that changes may be made depending on projected ridership, traffic patterns and land availability.

Officials said there is also a proposal to shift certain portions of the metro alignment underground within Ujjain city. If implemented, this modification could impact the final station count and alter the overall route design. Once the revised DPR is cleared, the project is expected to move towards implementation, strengthening inter-city connectivity between Indore and Ujjain.

As per the current plan, the metro corridor will begin at Lavkush Square in Indore and terminate near the Mahakal Temple in Ujjain. Proposed stations along the route include Bhaurasla, Baroli, Ninora, Triveni Ghat, Nanakheda and the ISBT. However, officials noted that the final connectivity map for these areas will depend on the outcome of the ongoing technical review.

DMRC was earlier appointed to conduct a feasibility survey and prepare the DPR. Following the survey, which reportedly indicated strong ridership potential, engineers began a detailed evaluation to ensure that the project remains technically viable and financially balanced.

The metro project is estimated to cost around ₹10,000 crore and is being fast-tracked with the goal of completion before Simhastha 2028. The Simhastha Mahakumbh, held once every 12 years in Ujjain, is scheduled from 27 March 2028 to 27 May 2028. Authorities expect the festival to draw over 14 crore devotees, making improved transport infrastructure a priority.
