Super Corridor Gold Mine

Indore District

Indore is the commercial capital of Madhya Pradesh and is also the administrative headquarters of the Indore District and the Indore Division. As a result, the city has become a hub of industrial, technological and educational activity. Indore was once the capital of the princely state of Indore. The strong historical background has given the city rich culture and heritage and it is therefore emerging as a popular tourist and economic spot today. The strategic location of Indore has also contributed to its manifold development, both economically and socially.
To provide better connectivity to the Financial Capital of the state there was a need of express corridor which will increase the economic activities of Indore city as well as provide the strong road network for the different sectoral growth of the city. The city is growing at very fast pace and the urban sprawl of the city was increasing and need immerged for the connection of every part of the city to the airport therefore 75m wide RW-2 (14 Kms) was much needed link to connect eastern and western part of Indore including Airport.

• Making the Super Corridor as a main hub which can lead to new growth of Indore
• The Super Corridor can play a role of central area of Madhya Pradesh in connection with developing Economic Corridor.
• The development of Super Corridor will promote the economic growth of surrounding area of Indore.
• Introduce of the concept of Green TOD and Mixed-use development in consideration of the international trend
• Improve the accessibilities among the railway, highway and road in order to activate the use of mass transit.
• The purpose was to develop more attractive vibrant, healthy, clean and safe environment, with modern facilities.
• Full range of services and well maintained infrastructure offering a highly desirable place to work, live, invest and cater to the needs of a diverse community
• Facilities that will be supported by eager investors as well as upscale market individuals requiring high quality, unique experiences
• Support family learning; cleanliness, comfort and convenience; and value for money.
• Enhanced security is required to enable visitors to coexist safely within the development.

The solution which was envisaged for the development was Transit Oriented Development (TOD) through a land pool model which will help the Authority with its financial model.
A transit-oriented development (TOD) is a mixed-use residential or commercial area designed to maximize access to public transport, and often incorporates features to encourage transit ridership. A TOD neighborhood typically has a center with a transit station or stop (train station, metro station, tram stop, or bus stop), surrounded by relatively high-density development with progressively lower-density development spreading outward from the center. TODs generally are located within a radius of one-quarter to one-half mile (400 to 800 m) from a transit stop, as this is considered to be an appropriate scale for pedestrians.
The Super corridor offers to enhance the already rich culture with modern development elements and amenities. Super Corridor Project was envisioned to be a TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT (TOD) serving the city, proposed Railway stations and Inter-state bus terminus (in close proximity) and the ultimate destination of the under construction expressway RW-2, the AIRPORT. It is an express link for the eastern city to the Airport. It would enable travelers to shun the city traffic and reach the airport in no time. This enhances the opportunities that the abutting land provides all along the road RW-2

IDA proposed Mixed Use Development with State of Art Amenities on 300m on either side of RW-2 through Land Pooling using TOD Principles. Once the Scheme was approved by the Concerning Town and Planning Department and Mutual agreements were done by the stake holders, on site development was started. As per the Scheme after demarcation stake holders came into action regarding scheme details and development procedure.
For timely completion of project, the whole development work was planned in Phases.
Initially all the Master Plan Road work was started in first phase due to financial issues, once the development in first phase was complete then demarcation of reserved plots was done, which gave confidence to the stakeholders. Allotment of reserved plots in favor of stakeholders were started so that they get the ownership back in form of developed plots.

As the population and industry has continued to increase. Indore City needs to develop the proper urban area. Indore City should develop the urban area to lead the surrounding regions in order to play a leading urban role for the State of Madhya Pradesh
1. The amount of compensation- Almost 2.5 times of collector guide line.
2. Consent of the land owners.
3. Social impact assessment survey-long time period for acquiring the land.
4. Acquiring the land under purchase policy issued by the Govt. of M.P.-- compensation--two times of the Collector guide line as well as consent of the land owner.
5. Financial viability of the scheme.

 Fulfillment of commitment

Committee was constituted to resolve problems under chairmanship of retired Judges. Representative of the land owners were included in committee. Report was submitted before IDA board.
 An increase in share of land owners by 5% was made after Resolution.
 Demarcation of the layout at site
 Construction of Sub grade roads to demarcate plots.
 Demarcation of reserved plots at site

Phased Revenue Generation right from Project Development Commencement
 Timely Delivery of Developed Plots to Land Owners
Judicious Implementation Planning and Project Phasing

 Direct Connectivity from the CBD area to Airport.
 No monetary compensation was involved, due to which IDA was able to execute the project smoothly without any Financial crunch.
 Flexible Land use which will allow multiple activities to promote IT, Soft activities which increased employment.
 Big IT Companies started their operations which added the value of the corridor.
 Indore City is influenced by DMIC and will be developed consecutively with the neighboring Economic Corridor; it is highly likely to grow.
 The airport is close to project site, rapid movement to any area of India from Indore City is possible and there is likely to be high demand for multi-purposed business activities. Indore City is likely to be developed into an international level of multi-functional city in the long term.
 Mixed-Use and Transit-oriented Development
 Promoting Super Corridor's image by making differentiated central area
