PM Modi Drives Transport Modernization in Indore

Indore’s railway history began in 1870 when the Holkar rulers invested in the Indore–Khandwa line. That early vision now evolves into a modern urban metro system.

The $895 million metro spans 31.3 km, and its first 6 km section opens today, featuring five stations between Gandhinagar and Super Corridor-3.

This marks a turning point in public mobility for Indore, replacing traditional modes like bullock carts with rapid and clean transit options.

PM Modi Highlights Safety and Innovation with Third-Rail System

The Indore Metro operates using a third-rail electric system, eliminating overhead wires and enabling safe, bidirectional train movement on dedicated tracks.

Officials highlight that this system also supports continuous flyover construction at Luvkush Square on the Indore–Ujjain bypass without disrupting metro operations.

With these advancements, Indore strengthens its reputation as India’s cleanest and most progressive city, embracing innovation in transport infrastructure.
