Satsang Bhawan Square Rau, Railway Station, 589, Station Rd, near Rau, Rau, Indore, Madhya Pradesh 453331, India
Rau is a developing town on Indore's southern fringe, near IIT Indore and several engineering colleges on the Rau-Pithampur road. It has seen rapid growth in PGs and student accommodation as campuses have expanded. Rents are among Indore's lowest. The trade-off is limited urban comforts and a semi-rural character that's gradually urbanising, with new restaurants, gyms, and grocery stores opening regularly to serve the growing student and faculty population.

Indore is Madhya Pradesh's commercial capital and one of India's cleanest cities. IIT Indore, IIM Indore, Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya, and a cluster of engineering and management colleges create a large student population. The city's growing IT sector along the Super Corridor, its established pharmaceutical and automobile industries, and a booming food-and-street-culture scene make it a draw for young professionals and entrepreneurs. PG rents in Indore are very competitive, cheaper than Pune or Bengaluru for comparable room quality. Vijay Nagar is the student-PG epicentre, while areas along the Super Corridor attract IT workers. Most PGs include two meals. Indore is compact enough that key areas are 20-30 minutes apart by auto or bus, but living near your college or office is still the practical choice, especially during the monsoon when traffic slows.
See all PG & hostels in Indore →Palasia, Vijay Nagar and Geeta Bhawan women’s hostels are sensible starting points because established PG clusters make it easier to compare access control and local transport. Visit after dark, check CCTV, a resident warden, visitor policy and the walk from the stop or station before paying a deposit. For a shared double room with meals, start with Bhawarkuan, Vijay Nagar outskirts and Rau (₹3,500–₹5,500); Bhawarkuan for DAVV and Rau for IIT Indore is the relevant student reference.
