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.
