- Description
The proposed project will finance the construction of new metro line with a total underground length of 7.65 km and seven stations in congested area of Indore with connectivity to the airport. In addition, the project will finance multimodal facilities to integrate the metro system with existing bus and feeder services, forming multimodal interchanges along the metro corridors with specific focus on improving access to educational institutes and markets.
- Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy
The proposed project will be aligned with the Comprehensive Mobility Plan for Indore urban area that will develop a long-term vision for urban development in Indore and proposed transport measures such as mass rapid transit corridors to meet the city's mobility needs. This will enhance the urban transport network of Indore in line with national- and city-level planning objectives and include initiatives to build institutional capacity within the Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited.
The rapid industrial development and population growth has generated increasing travel demand in Indore, placing heavy reliance on private motorized vehicles and intermediate public transport (minibus, auto-rickshaw, taxi and cycle rickshaw). Mass rapid transit as an intervention is anticipated to increase the mode share of public transport in Indore to 55% by the year 2031. The government realizes that the sustainable long-term solution to address Indore's transport problem is to develop a high capacity, rail-based trunk corridor integrated with feeder bus services, aimed at reducing the number of private vehicles in the city and contributing to a better urban environment. The CMP will be updated to include latest traffic, transport, and climatic conditions as well as improving their responsiveness to considerations of elderly, women, transgender people, children, and people with disabilities (ECWTD).

Summary of Environmental and Social Aspects
- Environmental Aspects
- The proposed project is categorized as A due to occupational, community health and safety impacts mainly related to tunneling work, noise, vibration, and large volume of spoil that will be generated. An Environmental Impact Assessment will be prepared for the entire project scope.
- Involuntary Resettlement
- The proposed project is categorized as A because of the number of affected people in the urban setting, which is expected to exceed the threshold into category A, even though the area of land acquisition is not expected to be substantial (envisaged to be only at station entrance and exits, the alignment of the rail will be generally along the road median).
- Indigenous Peoples
- The proposed project does not have the potential to directly or indirectly affect the dignity, human rights, livelihood systems, or culture of indigenous people
