Indore: The railways has approved General Arrangement Drawing (GAD) of a new
four-lane railway over bridge
(ROB) paving way for its construction parallel to the existing one on
MR-10
to facilitate smooth traffic flow. Now, the
Indore Development Authority
(IDA) will issue tenders for its construction. The four-lane ROB is targeted to be completed before
Ujjain Simhastha 2028
. Its construction will ease vehicular movement and reduce pressure on the current four-lane ROB.
Considering the increasing vehicular pressure in the city, flyovers are being constructed at various intersections and ROBs. Additionally, incomplete roads from the master plan are also being completed. In this context, the width of the ROB on the highly busy MR-10 route will be increased. A new four-lane ROB will take shape parallel to the existing ROB towards Kumedi.
Following an agreement in the recent board meeting, the IDA sent a proposal to the railways for approval. The railways has now approved GAD. The IDA will now proceed with the further process. The maximum vehicular pressure during Simhastha is expected to be on MR-10, hence a target of completing its construction within two years has been set.
The IDA has fixed an estimated cost of Rs 60 crore for the construction of the four-lane ROB. The existing ROB will be used for one direction of traffic, and the new ROB for the other. Currently, the entire vehicular pressure of MR-10 is on the existing ROB.
"After the construction of the new four-lane ROB, MR-10 and the Super Corridor will become fully eight-lane. The ROB built on the Super Corridor has already been made eight-lane," the authority CEO RP Ahirwar said.
Along with the MR-10 ROB, the width of the culvert built on the Kahn River nearby will also be increased. This culvert is currently four-lane. Along with the construction of the eight-lane ROB, the culvert will also be made eight-lane. This will ensure smooth and unhindered vehicular movement.
The MR-4 road being built from Sarwate Bus Station to Kumedi ISBT is also being widened. This road will also connect to MR-10 at Kumedi, increasing the vehicular pressure on MR-10. Additionally, the pressure of buses operating from Kumedi ISBT and vehicles going to Ujjain will also be on the MR-10 ROB. So, the new ROB will ease the traffic.

RBI buyback sees strong demand with bids doubling notified amount
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) received bids Rs 53,031 crore against the notified amount of Rs 26,000 crore at the second buyback auction of this fiscal year. At the auction held on Thursday, the central bank accepted 99% of the notified amount. ADVERTISEMENT At the first buyback held last week, the RBI received bids worth Rs 27,256 crore, of which the central bank accepted Rs 23,856 crore or 95% of the notified amount, data showed. Buybacks are a way for the government to pay off debt for next fiscal year to reduce its gross borrowing. It also results in RBI infusing durable liquidity into the system. The RBI bought back five government bonds maturing in 2026 at Thursday's auction. The 5.63% 2026 government bond saw the highest demand with bids received at Rs 26,616 crore. Of this, the central bank accepted Rs17,402 crore. 'The strong demand at the buyback auction indicates that banks may have taken this opportunity to lighten their HTM book, especially because there are no OMOs on the horizon,' said Rajeev Pawar, head of treasury at Ujjivan Small Finance Bank. 'In a buyback, banks get to sell short-term bonds and replace them with longer maturity papers and lock-in yields. Further buyback auctions will depend on how the government spending pans out and on evolving liquidity conditions.' ADVERTISEMENT Bonds maturing in FY27 are more than double versus this year at Rs 6.48 lakh crore and are consistently high until 2032. The government has also budgeted Rs 2.5 lakh crore for bond switches this year, 60% more than the previous a bond switch, the government replaces bonds maturing in the near term with long-term debt. The RBI, on behalf of the government, is scheduled to conduct an auction on Monday to switch government securities worth Rs 25,000 crore. It will conduct the auction to switch nine government bonds maturing between 2026 and 2029 for papers with maturity between 2032 and 2062.
