Work on Indore's underground metro line has accelerated, with soil testing commencing from Khajrana Chowk after the city administration moved the starting point from Nath Mandir Road.
Indore’s underground metro project has entered a new phase as soil testing begins from Khajrana Chowk. The tests aim to assess ground conditions for the tunnelling work that will follow.
Earlier plans had the underground line start at Nath Mandir Road, but municipal authorities raised concerns about the location. In response, the project team shifted the starting point to Khajrana Chowk, where the soil sampling will take place.
The soil tests are a critical step to ensure the stability of the tunnel and to identify any potential geological challenges. Results will guide the design and construction methods for the underground section.
The metro authority expects the testing to be completed within a few weeks, after which the tunnelling work is slated to commence, keeping the project on schedule for its planned launch.
