Indore Metro Stations Found Lacking Parking as Minister Orders Fix and 20-Day Coordination Push

He instructed the development authority to secure land for station parking, with designs to be readied before safety clearance for commercial service.

Overview

  • Urban Development Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya inspected metro works in Indore on November 19 and called the absence of parking at several upcoming stations a significant engineering lapse.
  • He directed the Indore Development Authority to identify land for parking and asked project architects to create station parking plans.
  • All agencies were told to convene within 15–20 days to resolve pending restoration and coordination issues, with urgency linked to city readiness for Simhastha preparations.
  • Vijayvargiya said flooding and road damage after metro construction stemmed from inadequate restoration by the metro agency rather than the Municipal Corporation.
  • Officials say the 31.32 km corridor with 28 stations has completed trial runs at an estimated cost of Rs 7,500.80 crore and now awaits the CMRS no‑objection certificate before commercial launch.
