In a significant development for Indore's infrastructure, the Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MPMRCL) successfully conducted a crucial trolley trial along an 11-kilometer section of the Indore Metro project this past Saturday. The extensive test run covered the route from Malviya Nagar Square to Super Corridor-2 station, marking a pivotal milestone in the city's journey toward modern urban transportation.
Comprehensive Inspection by Metro Chief
The trial formed part of a detailed inspection led by S Krishna Chaitanya, Managing Director of MPMRCL, who personally oversaw the proceedings. His evaluation focused on multiple critical aspects including construction quality, progress against timelines, and operational readiness. The inspection aimed to ensure that all systems meet the high standards required for public service.
During his thorough assessment, Chaitanya visited several key metro stations along the route, including Vijay Nagar, Meghdoot Garden, Bapat Chauraha, Hiranagar, Chandragupta Chauraha, and Malviya Nagar Chauraha. At each location, he examined various components essential for passenger convenience and operational efficiency.
Detailed Station Assessment
The MD's inspection covered a comprehensive checklist of facilities and systems. He reviewed:
- Civil construction progress and quality
- Installation status of escalators and lifts
- Station entry and exit arrangements
- Control room functionality
- Ticketing area setup
- Various system rooms and technical works

This meticulous examination represents an important step toward commencing metro operations at stations beyond SC-03 station, according to official sources familiar with the project's development timeline.
Focus on Timely and Quality Completion
During his interactions with project officials and construction agencies, Chaitanya emphasized the importance of completing remaining works within the stipulated time frame while maintaining high quality standards. He directed all stakeholders to work cohesively toward the common goal of providing a safe, timely, environment-friendly, and world-class urban transport facility to Indore's residents.
