[edit] Ground Transport

Bus - Buses run by the Indore City Transport Service (Hindi: Indore Nagar Parivahan Seva) leave from a bus stop just outside the terminal on Aerodrome Road.
Taxi - There is a small prepaid booth near the bus stop. A ride to the City centre will cost around Rs 150-170.
Auto rickshaw - If your destination is nearby, you could try one of these three-wheeled contraptions. They are rather niosy but can easily dodge the traffic on the busy roads. All autos are metered. There is no prepaid booth, just hail one of them outside the airport.
