The nine-storey district court building near Peepalyahana Talab in Indore has remained incomplete for eight years, with four contractors changed and the budget rising from ₹411 crore to ₹626.61 crore. Officials cite contractual disputes and procedural delays as reasons for the hold-up.
The project envisages a nine-storey building to house the Indore district court, located near Peepalyahana Talab. Work began roughly eight years ago but has faced continuous setbacks.
Over the period, four different contractors have been engaged and subsequently replaced due to disagreements and performance issues, contributing to the stagnation.
The original estimated cost was ₹411 crore; after repeated delays and revisions, the budget has escalated to ₹626.61 crore, marking an increase of about ₹215.61 crore.
Authorities state that efforts are underway to settle contractual disputes and restart construction, though no firm completion date has been announced.
