Getting around from Vijay Nagar
Exceptionally Connected
Commercial Heart • Metro planned • Rajwada 15 min • Indore Airport 12 km

Metro
Indore Metro’s Yellow Line opened in May 2025, but only a ~6 km priority section with five stations on the Super Corridor side is running. The rest of the ~33.5 km ring is under construction, so for most of the city the metro is PLANNED rather than usable.

Roads
