Indore Metro trial run likely to commence in September 2023 - MPMRCL

Indore, India (Metro Rail Today): Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MPMRCL) is aiming to commence the trial run at the 5.9 km Priority Corridor of Indore Metro Rail project in September 2023.

"The Metro Rail project is work considered to be of the highest priority by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. Our aim is that, by next August-September, its trial run can be carried out at the Super-Priority Corridor of 5.9 km,” said Manish Singh, Managing Director, MPMRCL during his visit to Indore. He carried inspection of the Gandhi Nagar depot of Indore Metro on 27th November 2022 and met contractors to resolve the problems faced by them in development of the metro depot.

While reviewing the construction work, Singh directed that work on the Gandhi Nagar depot be carried out on priority to complete the targeted Super-Priority Corridor by September 2023.

During the inspection, Singh also observed the work going on at the depot. He was apprised of the problems being faced by the local officials of MPMRCL in carrying out the work. Singh gave instructions to resolve the problems with mutual coordination so that the construction can be done at a faster pace.

“All kinds of coordination will be done by the administration and every possible effort will be made to complete the Metro project at a fast pace,” commented Ilaya Raja T, Indore Collector who was also the part of inspection team with the MD.

The work is being carried out at a fast pace by the contractors. It was decided one day before at a review meeting that the work would not be stopped even when the Pravasi Bharatiya Sammelan and the Global Investors’ Summit 2023, is slotted there in January 2023.

“Work has started to temporary close traffic on a 200-metre stretch near the proposed Gandhi Nagar station on the Super-Corridor. Diversion is being arranged at this place so that traffic is not obstructed and the Metro construction work can go on smoothly,” said officials.

Singh also inquired how the converted diversion route could be made attractive to present the image of Indore city in a beautiful form from the Metro construction site.

While talking to officials of MPMRCL, he directed that the technical aspects be completed by establishing relations with the Indian Railways' consultancy firm RITES Ltd and other technical institutions. He ordered that quality and safety be ensured in the Metro construction work on priority and instructed officials not to compromise on them under any circumstance.

Initiating the site inspection from the proposed Metro station near Gandhi Nagar, he stressed the importance of ensuring orderly traffic and managing diversions on the Metro construction routes during the two major events proposed in the city at the beginning of next year—the Global Investors’ Summit, 2003, and Pravasi Bhartiya Sammelan.
