Indore Metro Seeks New Revenue Streams with 'Celebration on Wheels' Scheme

Indore: A major part of the Metro project is not yet ready for commuters. Construction of about 17 km long viaduct from Super Corridor to Radisson intersection has been completed. About Rs 5800 crore has been spent on preparing this section but due to non-operation, it is not generating any income. Metro management is now looking for new options to earn some income from this big project. Metro coaches can be used for celebrations. Indore Metro authorities have prepared a'Celebration on Wheels'scheme. Metro coaches and station complexes will be rented out for private and commercial events. That is, now not only travel in the metro train but also events like birthday, kitty party, pre-wedding shoot will be allowed. Along with this, films, web series, advertisements and photoshoots will also be allowed. The management says that these events will be organized in such a way that ordinary passengers will not have to use the coaches for any trouble.
