Madhya Pradesh Cabinet Clears DPR Fee For Ujjain–Indore–Pithampur Metro

The Madhya Pradesh cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav recently cleared several key proposals, including approving the payment of consultancy fees for the preparation of the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the Ujjain–Indore–Pithampur Metro Rail Project.

The consultancy has been assigned to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation at a cost of Rs 9 lakh per km, plus GST, The Times of India reported.

In its first phase, the metro will connect Mahakaleshwar in Ujjain to Indore’s Luv Kush Square, before extending to Pithampur in the second.

Urban administration minister Kailash Vijayvargiya said the cabinet also gave approval for the purchase of 25,000 tablets worth Rs 75 crore under the E-Vivechana App project, part of the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS).

“In the first phase, 1,732 tablets will be given to the police department,” he noted, with the remaining to be distributed in stages.

In the energy sector, the state cabinet authorised competitive procurement of 4,000 MW from new thermal projects, with three developers already selected to supply 800 MW, 1,600 MW and 800 MW respectively.

Another major step was the approval of renewable energy projects to reduce operational costs of the MP Jal Nigam’s 147 group rural drinking water schemes, a Rs 60,786 crore programme designed to supply safe water to more than 75 lakh families across 35,000 villages.
