Earlier, the metro was operated only within the Super Corridor and nearby regions. It had successfully completed a trial run from the Super Corridor to MR 10 ISBT, covering a stretch of 5.9 km on September 19.
The latest run extending to Radisson Square shows the metro’s entry into the city’s urban area.
Metro to make way in overly-populated areas
According to officials, plans are underway to extend services to densely populated areas like Vijay Nagar, Meghdoot, Bapat Square and Radisson, to provide connectivity to the airport.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the first phase of the Indore Metro on 31 May 2025, marking the launch of Madhya Pradesh’s first metro rail service. Initially, passengers were offered free travel, but fares were increased later.
In a special gesture, one metro station has been named after Operation Sindoor, while five stations honor the bravery of Indian women.
