Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to inaugurate the first phase of the Indore Metro Rail project, along with the Datia and Satna airports, via video conferencing during his visit to Bhopal on May 31, according to a senior Madhya Pradesh cabinet official.

During his day-long visit to Bhopal, the Prime Minister will also participate in a conference organized to commemorate the 300th birth anniversary of Devi Ahilyabai Holkar, the historic queen of the Malwa kingdom, now part of Madhya Pradesh, as stated by the Parliamentary Affairs Minister and Cabinet spokesperson Kailash Vijayvargiya.

It was indicated that the Prime Minister would take part in a women’s empowerment program and a women's conference held on the same day as part of the anniversary celebrations. The event is expected to be attended by nearly two lakh women.

In addition to inaugurating the Indore Metro Rail project's first phase, Modi will also launch the Datia and Satna airports through video conferencing during the program.

Officials revealed that the initial phase of the metro project covers a 5.90-kilometer stretch, with metro train services planned to run between Gandhi Nagar and Station No. 3 of the Super Corridor in Indore, the commercial capital of Madhya Pradesh.

The foundation stone for this first phase of the metro rail project, which has an estimated cost of Rs 75 billion, was laid on September 14, 2019. The entire metro network in the city is expected to span approximately 31.50 kilometers once completed.
