Outer Ring Road East–West: Guide Line Rates May Increase Up to Three Times

With the proposed increase in property guideline rates in the district, the final phase of preparation is underway for implementation from 2026–27. The biggest impact may be seen on the Outer Ring Road, where guideline rates could rise significantly.

Farmers are also expected to benefit from the increase. According to the proposals prepared by the registration department and the Indore Collector’s guidelines, discussions have been completed for nearly four dozen locations. In these areas, guideline rates may increase by up to 50% to 200%.

Rates Increasing Even After Compensation

For example, under the Indore–Ujjain Greenfield Corridor project, compensation has already been given at high rates. Despite this, guideline rates in nearby areas are still being proposed for further increase.

Due to this, land prices in surrounding villages are rising rapidly. Initially, a proposal was made to increase guideline rates in 484 locations to 2606, and now this number may increase further. Public hearings are being conducted at the district level, and citizens can submit their objections till March 21.
