Indore Metro Launches Commercial Operations, Enhancing City Transit
Imagine a brand new train system in Indore!
It's called the Metro, and it started running on Sunday.
At first, not many people rode it, but by lunchtime, more people were using it.
The tickets are being sold manually, like at a fair.
The Prime Minister opened the first part of the Metro.
The plan is for the metro to expand to a 17-km route soon, which will make it easier for people to travel to work and school.
Indore Metro began commercial operations on Sunday.
Passenger numbers grew throughout the day after the launch.
Currently, ticketing is manual; digital systems are being developed.
The metro's first phase was inaugurated on May 31, 2025, by PM Modi.
Future plans include a 17-km trial run to Radisson Hotel Square.
