Stepping up towards development, MP CM Kamal Nath performs ground-breaking for Indore metro rail

Bhopal, September 14: Amid chanting of mantras, Madhya Pradesh CM Kamal Nath on Saturday laid the foundation stone for Rs 7500.80 crore metro rail project in the state's commercial capital.

 

 

'Under the project, a 31.55 km long corridor is proposed to be built in the city. While most of the metro section will be elevated, a portion will run underground", the statement said, adding that the metro rail corridor will pass through Nainod, Bhanwarsala intersection, Radisson intersection and Bengali Chauraha.

 

"A total of 29 stations would be built on this route", it added. The project, conceived during the tenure of erstwhile BJP government in the state and approved by the Centre in October last year, is expected to be completed by August 2023. State Urban Development Minister Jaiwardhan Singh and other ministers were present on the occasion.
