Indore has spent no small sum on attractions of unmatched ambition. Below, newest first, are the public-works entries every visitor should know about before their next trip through the city. Whichever route you take, the guide covers what to see, its current status, and roughly how much it cost the public to build.

Ghost infrastructure (no buses)#01
Nayta Mundla, ~10-12 km from Indore city center · Bus Station

Nayta Mundla ISBT: India's Emptiest Airport-Style Bus Terminal

Built with airport-like infrastructure (AC waiting areas, food court, LED displays) to serve as Indore's central ISBT ahead of Simhastha 2028. In September 2025 authorities forcibly shut the older Navlakha and Teen Imli bus stands and redirected all routes here, but as of March 2026 the terminal remains largely deserted because it is too far from the city, raises operator fuel costs, and breaks previously viable routes. Buses and passengers continue to use informal roadside pickup points in the city instead.

Indore BRTS ("iBus" corridor)

Indore's flagship Bus Rapid Transit corridor, once held up nationally as a model project, was ordered dismantled by the Madhya Pradesh High Court after years of complaints that it worsened congestion for other traffic.

Frequently Asked

Visitor questions

What is the number one place to see in Indore?

Scroll to the list. It runs newest first, by the most recent year on record for each entry, so whatever the city has managed most recently sits at the top. Entries with no documented year are filed at the end.

Are these attractions safe to visit?

Define 'safe'. Daylight visits are advised. Maintain distance from open manholes, leaning structures, and anything under active repair. We accept no liability; neither does anyone else, which is rather the theme.

How much did these projects cost?

Where public figures exist, they're listed on each attraction's page, sourced from tenders, budgets and RTI replies. Several projects have no publicly disclosed final cost — that's noted too.

Can I suggest an attraction for this guide?

Indore produces new landmarks faster than we can rank them. Submit a photo and location via the 'Submit a Blunder' button, and our desk will verify and add it.
