The Indore Metro is a rapid transit system which is under construction for the city of Indore, in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. The total system consists of 11 corridors (lines) covering a distance of 124 kilometres (77 mi). This project will cost approximately 12,000 crore (US$1.4 billion).[1] The cost per km will be 182 crores and total cost is 15,000 crores. The metro system will be elevated, underground and on ground.[2] The Indore Metro project has been subject to serious contestation due to the inappropriate shifting of Seismic zone-II to Seismic zone-IV category which has led to increase in budgetary cost for the entire project.[3]
