Bhopal: Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has announced that the ambitious Indore–Ujjain Greenfield Four-Lane Road Project will now be constructed at ground level instead of being elevated, keeping farmers’ interests at the forefront. The decision comes after detailed discussions with farmer representatives from various villages in Indore and Ujjain districts.
The Chief Minister emphasized that the state government is committed to ensuring fair compensation to farmers whose land will be affected by the project.

The project, valued at ₹2,935.15 crore, will be executed through the Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation. It aims to strengthen regional connectivity and transform infrastructure across 28 villages in two districts.
According to CM Dr. Yadav, the four-lane highway will provide improved public amenities and give a new developmental push to rural and semi-urban areas along the corridor.
