Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually inaugurated three significant transportation projects; including the Indore Metro Rail, along with the Satna and Datia airport projects, during his visit to Bhopal.
PM Modi participated in the celebrations commemorating the 300th birth anniversary of Lokmata Devi Ahilyabai Holkar, the distinguished ruler of Malwa.
The Indore Metro Rail project, the first of its kind in Madhya Pradesh, marks a transformative step in urban transportation.
The Datia airport, for which the foundation stone was laid in 2012 with an initial investment of Rs 21.18 crore, was completed in 2015. It was upgraded into a full-fledged airport in 2023 and became ready for operations by 2024.
The metro network spans 31.3 kilometres, with an initial six-kilometre stretch inaugurated by PM Modi on Saturday.
The first phase includes five stations at Gandhinagar and various points along the Super Corridor. The metro’s rolling stock features stainless steel coaches designed with a white and yellow aesthetic, ensuring rust resistance and durability.
