IndorePithampur Economic Corridor Launches With Phase 1 Groundbreaking

A 60% land-for-development offer to farmers boosts consent for early works.

Overview

  • Chief Minister Mohan Yadav led the bhoomi pujan on Sunday in Nainod, marking the start of phase one budgeted at Rs 326.51 crore.
  • The corridor spans roughly 20–21 km across about 1,316 hectares with a total outlay of Rs 2,360 crore under the MPIDC Indore regional office.
  • Plans call for a 75‑metre main road with 300‑metre development zones on both sides to link NH‑47 and NH‑52 and connect Indore’s Super Corridor to the Pithampur investment hub.
  • To win voluntary land pooling, the state raised compensation from 50% to 60% by returning serviced plots with roads, power and water to contributing landowners.
  • Officials say the project will draw new industry and jobs, and the chief minister claimed it could create 600,000 positions as infrastructure works now begin in a multi‑year buildout.
