Indore Metro to go underground

The Indore Metro project in Madhya Pradesh is changing.

A 3.3 km part of the metro line that goes through busy areas with many homes and shops will now be built underground instead of above ground.

This change will cost an extra Rs 800–900 crore, which the state government will pay.

The decision was made to make traffic better, make life easier for people, and keep the city looking nice.

The metro project is 31.32 km long and was originally supposed to cost Rs 7,500.8 crore.

Also, the Indore Metropolitan Area is being expanded to 14,000 sq km to become a big hub for trade, industry, and tourism.

Additionally, a new building for Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital is being built for Rs 773 crore with space for 1,450 patient beds.
