Living in Rau
Rau is an industrial-cum-education suburb of Indore on AB Road (NH52), about 12-14 km south of the city centre, best known as the home of IIM Indore and as the gateway to the Pithampur ('Detroit of India') auto-industrial belt via Rau-Pithampur Road.
It offers a mid-segment, still-affordable housing market with an active pipeline of new projects and solid road/rail/bus links to Indore, Mhow and Pithampur, but civic infrastructure like drainage and traffic management is still catching up with its rapid growth.
- Directly on AB Road (NH52), Indore's main north-south highway linking the city centre, Mhow and Pithampur, with frequent AICTSL city-bus services and its own electrified Rau railway station.
- Home to IIM Indore's 193-acre Prabandh Shikhar campus plus a cluster of AICTE/UGC-affiliated engineering and management colleges, making Rau a recognised educational hub with 10,000+ students.
- Sits at the gateway to the Pithampur industrial area/SEZ via Rau-Pithampur Road; a new ~Rs 2,360 crore Indore-Pithampur Economic Corridor is under construction to boost this industrial belt.
- Comparatively affordable, mid-segment housing (~Rs 3,250-3,500/sq ft) with brisk new supply - 46+ new projects and 93+ properties for sale tracked on Square Yards alone.
- Established local industrial base (trolley and agricultural-implement manufacturers, Shakti Pumps, Oriental Chemicals) reinforced by planned new power substations for the area.
- Residents rate connectivity and public transport highly, citing good bus/cab availability and well-maintained main roads in locality reviews.
- Parts of Rau lack a proper drainage network; residents report garbage build-up and muddy waterlogging on roads during the monsoon.
- Rau Gol Square and the main AB Road stretch see heavy peak-hour traffic and have been flagged as accident-prone by residents.
- Local waterbodies around Rau have reportedly suffered encroachment, an environmental and drainage concern flagged by residents.
- Rau is not on Indore Metro's operating Yellow Line (Gandhi Nagar-Super Corridor-Airport), so residents rely on road transport for now.
Rau lies on AB Road (NH52, formerly NH3) between Rajendra Nagar and Mhow, with Rau-Pithampur Road branching off toward the Pithampur industrial belt. It has its own electrified railway station on the Akola-Ratlam line, and frequent AICTSL city buses link it to Indore, Mhow and Pithampur.
The airport and Indore Junction are both roughly 14 km away. A ~19.6 km Indore-Pithampur Economic Corridor (part of a ~Rs 2,360 crore project) is being built to improve links to the industrial belt.
Indore Metro's operating line does not reach Rau.
Rau is one of Indore's recognised education clusters, hosting IIM Indore's 193-acre Prabandh Shikhar campus and the State Institute of Hotel Management (~3 km from Rau circle). It also has numerous AICTE/UGC-affiliated engineering and management colleges - Medi-Caps, IPS Academy, Sanghvi Institute of Management and Science, Indore Institute of Science & Technology and S D Bansal College - plus schools like Emerald Heights International School, St.
Norbert's and a government college (est. 2011), collectively educating over 10,000 students.
Rau itself hosts trolley and agricultural-implement manufacturers and firms such as Shakti Pumps and Oriental Chemicals. It adjoins the Pithampur industrial area/SEZ - Madhya Pradesh's largest auto cluster, dubbed the 'Detroit of India' - via Rau-Pithampur Road, and sits along the upcoming ~Rs 2,360 crore Indore-Pithampur Economic Corridor meant to boost logistics between the two.
Rising industrial power demand has also prompted plans for new electricity substations serving Rau's industrial pocket.
Rau's own draw is the Umiya Dham temple and its large Navratri/Dussehra celebrations. Within about 12-14 km lie Indore's heritage sites - Rajwada Palace, Lal Bagh Palace, Central Museum and Sarafa Bazar's night food market - plus Ralamandal Wildlife Sanctuary.
Toward Mhow (13 km away), MP Tourism lists Patalpani Waterfall and Choral Dam (both around 30 km from Indore) and the weekend Patalpani-Kalakund heritage train as popular day-trip destinations.
Rau's own stretch of AB Road has banks, restaurants and everyday retail, with a multiplex reported within 1-2 km of the main road per locality reviews.
For bigger-format entertainment, malls such as C21 Mall on AB Road and other Indore multiplexes/malls are a short drive away, and Indore's famed Sarafa Bazar night food market is within the ~14 km radius that also covers the city's heritage sites.
Rau is governed by its own Nagar Parishad (a transitional municipality under the MP Municipalities Act, 1961), separate from Indore Municipal Corporation, responsible for water supply, sewerage, roads, street lighting, solid waste and public health across 7,500+ households. It falls within the Indore Development Authority's planning jurisdiction.
New electricity substations are planned for Rau's industrial pocket, though residents report gaps in drainage infrastructure in parts of the locality.

- How does the Rishta Engine match buyers and properties?
- You tell us what you want — BHK, locality, budget, timeline. The Rishta Engine watches every new listing across the network and pairs you with the right matches, not 14,000 listings. Posting a buyer profile takes 60 seconds; matches arrive via WhatsApp the moment a property lists. Your phone number stays masked from brokers until you choose to reveal it.
- Are there any fees to browse Rau, Indore?
- No — browsing properties, posting buyer requirements, and getting paired with three best-fit matches are always free for seekers. No subscriptions, no contact-credit packs, no paywalls. Brokers pay separately if they apply for ROI Verified status.
- Why does RERA registration matter when buying property in India?
- RERA is the Real Estate Regulatory Authority — every project above a small threshold must register with the state RERA portal, and the registration ID is publicly verifiable. Buying a RERA-registered property gives you statutory protection on possession date, project specs, and refund timelines if the builder defaults. Every listing on Realty of India shows the RERA pill linked to the state portal so you can verify independently.
- How much is stamp duty when I buy a flat in India?
- Stamp duty rates vary by state — Maharashtra charges ~5–6%, Karnataka ~5%, Delhi 4–6%, depending on whether the buyer is male/female/joint. Registration charges add another ~1%. Use the in-built Stamp Duty calculator on Realty of India for the exact rate for your city and buyer profile.
- Can I get a home loan on properties I find through Realty of India?
- Yes. Listings carry the documents most lenders need to underwrite — RERA ID where applicable, OC (Occupancy Certificate) status, society approval, and clear title chain. Banks and NBFCs (HDFC, SBI, ICICI, LIC HFL, Bajaj Finserv) lend up to 80–90% of property value depending on your eligibility. The EMI calculator on Realty of India estimates your monthly payment.
- What is the difference between ready-to-move, under-construction, and new launch?
- Ready-to-move means OC has been received and you can move in immediately — lower risk, no GST. Under-construction means the project is mid-build with a possession date — typically 12–18% cheaper than ready-to-move but you pay GST and bear delay risk. New launch is fresh inventory at the project's launch price — earliest entry, longest wait. ROI shows construction status on every listing card.
