Indore's under-construction metro corridor, which underwent a trial run in September, is facing delays in its opening to the public. Although the metro company and contractors aim to launch the service between Gandhi Nagar and TCS Metro Station (Super Corridor) by March, contingent on the approval of the Commissioner of Railway...

Safety (CRS) and the absence of election code restrictions, the opening has been postponed. The 5.5-kilometer stretch, despite the successful trial run, hasn't been opened to the public, raising concerns about the delay and causing discontent. While the entire corridor from Gandhi Nagar to Vijay Nagar is scheduled to open by May-June, officials are under pressure to offer at least a portion of the service before that. The delay is attributed to ongoing work and the need for CRS inspection. Despite the planned launch, officials acknowledge low ridership potential due to limited population density in the area, with expectations of higher ridership initially due to novelty but declining after.

TCS Metro Station (Super Corridor) tak metro chalaai ja sakti hai. 5.5 kilometer ka yeh stretch, trial run successful hone ke baad bhi, abhi tak public ke liye nahin khula hai, isse logon mein narazgi hai. May-June mein Gandhi Nagar se Vijay Nagar tak poora corridor khulna hai, lekin isse pehle, officials pe pressure hai ki kam se kam is chhote se portion ko public ke liye khol diya jaaye. Delay ki wajah ongoing work aur CRS ka inspection hai. Aur haan, officials jaante hai ki agar Gandhi Nagar se TCS tak metro chalaai bhi gayi, toh isme zyada passengers nahin honge. Shuru mein toh log naya-naya metro experience lene aayenge, par daily basis par itne chhote route pe koi nahin aayega. Is area mein population density bhi kam hai. Par, upcoming Lok Sabha elections ke nazdikiyon mein, is pressure ko political angle se dekha ja raha hai.
