A provision of Rs 15.50 crore has been made for the remaining work, which is expected to be finished in 2025-26,' IDA CEO RP Ahirwar said, adding that provision of around Rs 435 crore has been made to complete development of ongoing residential schemes and planning for a few new ones in 2025-26.
The budget also includes provisions for renovation of temples, construction of ISBTs on Bhopal and Dhar roads, development of Tigaria Badshah pond, and preparing a detailed project report for riverfront development.
Ahirwar said that a service-equipped residential complex for senior citizens has been constructed in Scheme No. 134, featuring 32 flats, a multi-purpose hall, parking, physiotherapy room, and 24-hour ambulance service. 'Tenders have been invited for the operation and maintenance of the building,' he said.
'A multi-phase startup park is planned, with the first phase including a shopping mall, startup offices, and a parking tower. The first phase, which will be initiated this year, is expected to be completed within five years,' he said, adding that IDA is constructing four CM Rise Schools, with Rs 46 crore allocated for their completion in 2025.
'Construction of the eight km MR-12 road, linking bypass to Ujjain road, will be completed for 2028 Simhastha,' he said, adding that there is also a provision in the budget for development of Morod grain market to facilitate farmers in selling their produce.

The Indore Development Authority (IDA) has presented an estimated income budget of around ₹1,597 crore for 2025-26 with a surplus budget focused on housing, smart infrastructure, transit hubs, commercial development, and public amenities across Indore.
The IDA budget will accelerate infrastructure development on Super Corridor Indore through better roads, the ISBT project, commercial spaces, smart urban planning, improved connectivity, and future-ready public infrastructure, making the area more attractive for residential and commercial investment.
The budget prioritizes transit hubs, housing schemes, the Super Corridor ISBT, startup parks, commercial development, road infrastructure, and smart city initiatives designed to improve urban mobility and economic growth in Indore.
Super Corridor offers excellent connectivity to the airport, IT companies, educational institutions, metro connectivity, and upcoming infrastructure projects supported by IDA, making it one of the fastest-growing investment locations in Indore.
The Integrated State Bus Terminal (ISBT) on Super Corridor will improve public transportation, reduce traffic congestion, strengthen regional connectivity, and increase commercial and residential property demand in the surrounding areas.
Large-scale investments in smart infrastructure, transit hubs, metro connectivity, and public facilities generally have a positive impact on real estate demand. As infrastructure improves, property values in Super Corridor are expected to witness steady long-term appreciation.
The budget focuses on developing smart urban infrastructure through improved transportation systems, better roads, public amenities, integrated planning, housing projects, and commercial development that support Indore's future growth.
With continuous infrastructure upgrades, metro expansion, transit hub development, and increasing commercial activity, Super Corridor remains one of the most promising locations for long-term residential and commercial property investment in Indore.
The Indore Development Authority plans and executes major residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects, including roads, housing schemes, transport facilities, smart city developments, and public infrastructure to support sustainable urban growth.
Smart infrastructure improves connectivity, quality of life, business opportunities, and public services. These developments enhance the overall appeal of locations like Super Corridor, driving higher real estate demand and long-term investment potential.
