Indore Metro Priority Corridor-2, covering Phase-I (Reach-II) of the project, was inaugurated on 5 September 2026 in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
The 11 km corridor runs from Super Corridor-3 to Malviya Nagar Chauraha, also called Radisson Hotel Chowraha.
Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal inaugurated it in the presence of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.
The operational network rose to about 17 km and 16 stations, with a cumulative project cost of roughly Rs 4,370 crore.
Regular passenger services on the extended Gandhi Nagar to Malviya Nagar route began on 6 September 2026.

Key: Requires alternatives analysis and a comprehensive mobility plan before a metro is sanctioned, so that cities justify a metro against cheaper transit options
Metro networks are opened in sections. A priority corridor is the stretch made ready first, so that a part of the line starts carrying passengers and earning revenue while the rest of the network is still under construction.
Simple Analogy: Open the first few floors of a building while the upper ones are still being built.
Indore is the largest city of Madhya Pradesh and its commercial centre; Bhopal is the state capital. The new corridor runs from Super Corridor-3 in the city's western development belt to Malviya Nagar Chauraha.
