The metro will use a third rail power technology system to fuel its operation, or in other words, it will receive its power from the third line. The metro will have a driver in the first stage but become driverless in the latter stage, reducing human interference and mistakes. Priority lanes in Bhopal, measuring 6-7 km, are being concentrated on. The metro project between Indore and Bhopal must be finished by December 2025; thus, it is being closely monitored.

Indore Metro Fare

The fare system, tariffs, and restrictions for the Indore Metro have yet to be revealed. Closer to the opening of commercial operations, this will be finalized. MPMRCL intends to integrate cutting-edge technology into its Automatic Fare Collecting (AFC) system, including QR codes and Near Field Communication phones.

Considering the metro fare in other parts of the country, you can expect the Indore Metro fare to be affordable. You can travel across the city, visit the key attractions and reach the major destinations without burning a hole in your pocket. Moreover, you could enjoy a wide range of amenities in Indore Metro at a cost-effective fare.

Indore Metro would feature a variety of lavish amenities, including cabin lights and a high-quality music system for the announcements. Packed with upscale facilities, Indore Metro would also be accessible for passengers who are differently abled.

NCMC card

The card can function as a travel smart card on several transport systems including the Delhi Metro Corporation, Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport Undertaking (BEST) bus services, and Kadamba Transport Corporation (KTC) bus services among other public transit across the country.
