The Urban Administration Development Department of Madhya Pradesh and its Metro Rail Co Ltd (MPMRCL) have submitted a letter of acceptance (LoA) to Dilip Buildicon (DBL) for the metro rail projects at Indore and Bhopal. The phase-1 is valued at Rs 247.06 crore and Rs 228.96 crore respectively for the Indore and Bhopal metros.
A total contract worth Rs 476.02 crore has been won by the highway builder group DBL. Metro Rail News has reported that DBL received the LoA for the projects on Friday, 5 October.
A depot near the international airport was proposed earlier, however an expert quoted by Metro Rail News as said, “The strategic importance of the location cannot be understated, but the Railway over Bridge (RoB) is a major hindrance. Design changes in RoB are being considered so that the Stud Farms location remains a viable alternative for a Metro rail depot.”

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.

The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
