1.1
ABOUT KOZHIKODE CITY.

HISTORY
Kozhikode formerly known as Calicut is a major city on

the northern half of Kerala situated right on the Arabian Sea
coast. Kozhikode is the third largest city in Kerala after Kochi
and Thiruvananthapuram and is part of the second largest city
agglomeration in Kerala with a metro population of 2.03 million
(as per 2011 census). Kozhikode is a picturesque coastal town
in the land of spices and coconut trees and is known for its rich
history, culture, commercial glory, beaches, backwaters and
splendid scenic beauty. Kozhikode ranks as the second best city
in India to reside in, as per data compiled by an economic
research firm, considering health, education, environment,
safety, public facilities and entertainment parameters. It has
also been ranked 11th among tier two Indian cities in job
creation by ASSOCHAM. The city lies about 390 Km north of the
capital city of Thiruvananthapuram.
1.2
GEOGRAPHICAL DETAILS.
Kozhikode is located at 11.25N latitude and 75.77E

longitude. It has an elevation of about 1m above M.S.L along the
coast, rising to at least 15 metre at citys eastern edges with a
sandy coastal belt and lateritic midland. The city has 15 km
shoreline and small hills dot terrain in the eastern and mid
regions. To the citys west is the Arabian Sea. The mighty
Sahyadri hills rise from about 60 km to the east. The city core
(Municipal Corporation) has an area of 32.61 Sq. Km. and a
population of 610,000 (2011 figures). General drainage of the
city empties to the Canoly canal which leads to the Arabian
Sea.
The following rivers namely Chaliyar, Korapuzha, Kallaipuzha,
Poonurpuzha and Iruvanjipuzha originate from the Western
Ghats and run along the outer reaches of the city. Out of these,
Kallai River is the most important culturally and also for trade.
4
The Canoly canal, which is man-made, connects Korapuzha and

Kallai River and functions as a drain to reduce flooding up
during rainy season and also as a navigation channel.
The city falls in Zone 3 of the Seismic zone mapping of
India.
1.3
CLIMATE.
The city enjoys a tropical monsoon climate under the koppen climate classification. City has a highly humid tropical
climate with high temperatures from March to May (max.35
degree Celsius). A brief spell of pre-monsoon showers hit the
city sometime during April. The primary source of rain is the
south west monsoon that sets in the first week of June and
continues until November. The city receives significant rains
from the north east monsoon which sets in the second half of
October till November. The average annual rainfall is 3266 mm.
The weather is milder from December until March, when the
skies are clear and the air is crisp. Winters are seldom cold. The

2.0
2.1
PRESENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IN THE CITY.

HIGHWAYS
The city has a closely knit highway system. The National

Highway 66 (old NH 17) runs through the city in the north
south direction and has a total length of 77.40 km in the
District. The National Highway 766 (old NH 212) starts from the
city and runs in the north east direction leading to Wayanad,
Mysore and Bangalore and has a length of 57 km in the district.
The NH 966 (old NH 213) takes off to the south of the city and
goes to Palakkad. The other major roads within the city are
Mavoor road, starting from the city and running eastward, the
mini bypass for a length of 11.62 km, starting from
Meenchanda on the NH 66 and ending at West hill on the same
NH. There is a National Highway bypass in the outskirts of the
city, again running in the north south direction, for a length of
24 km.
The most common public transport system is the Bus
service operated both in Private sector and Public sector. Four
wheelers, two wheelers and three wheelers cater to the rest of
the needs. Most of the roads within the city are narrow and are
only two-lane and are heavily congested, especially in the peak
hours.
2.2 RAILWAYS
The ChennaiMangalore Railway line passes through city.

The Kozhikode railway station is the largest in the district with
4 platforms and handles more than 50,000 passengers a day.
More than 78 trains pass through the station daily.
The High Speed Railway line from Thiruvananthapuram
to Kasargod now under consideration by the State will also pass
through the city and will have a Railway station on the National
Highway Bye-pass.
2.3
AIRWAYS
The Kozhikode airport (CCJ) is situated about 30 kms

southeast of the city at Karipur. It is an international airport
and has extensive International and Domestic flights daily. It is
connected by non-stop flights to Mumbai, Delhi and nearly all
the destinations in the gulf.
3.0 STUDIES FOR MONORAIL PROJECT
Most of the Highways in the city are very narrow. The city is
therefore experiencing heavy traffic congestion all the time. Due
to the high land cost and the extreme reluctance of the public to
part with their lands, widening of roads to accommodate Mass
Transit Systems is almost unthinkable. The city is not large
enough to sustain a Rail based Metro System. It is in this
context that the Government of Kerala decided to examine the
possibility of introducing an alternate arrangement.
The Kerala Road Fund Board, a statutory body under the
Public Works Department engaged M/s. Wilbur Smith
Associates, Bengaluru (Bangalore), to prepare a detailed
feasibility study for Kozhikode Mass Transit System. M/s.
Wilbur Smith submitted the feasibility report in December 2010
recommending a Monorail system for the city, from Meenchanda
to Ramanattukara with a distance of 23 Kms and recommended
8
to take up the reach from Medical College to Meenchanda

having a distance of 13 Kms as the Ist phase.
Kerala Road Fund Board then entrusted Delhi Metro Rail
Corporation Limited (DMRC) to prepare the Detailed Project
Report (DPR) for the Ist Phase of the Mono Rail Project in March
2012. DMRC submitted the DPR in June 2012 incorporating
certain modifications. Government of Kerala approved the DPR
and accorded Administrative Sanction for the project as per
order No. GO (Ms) 72/2012/PWD dated 09.10.2012 for an
amount of Indian Rupees19,910 million (approx. USD 356
million). As per the approved DPR, the total length of the
Monorail system is 14.20 Kms with 15 stations.
Govt. have constituted a Special Purpose Vehicle viz; Kerala
Monorail Corporation Limited (KMCL) to monitor and implement
the Project. KMCL is a fully owned Government of Kerala
Company and was incorporated on 05/12/2012 and has its
head office at Thiruvananthapuram and have set up
subordinate offices at Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram.
Further, Govt. of Kerala has engaged DMRC as the General
Consultant for the Project. DMRC also has its offices at
Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram.
3.1 Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited (DMRC)
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited is a joint venture company
of the Government of India and the Government of the National
Capital Region of Delhi incorporated in May 1995 having its
Head office in New Delhi. It was formed for the purpose of
planning and implementing a World class Metro system for the
capital city of New Delhi. DMRC commenced construction of the
Ist phase of Delhi Metro project covering 65.30 Km in October
1998 and commissioned the entire length by December 2005.
Thereafter Phase II of Delhi Metro project covering 124 Km was
taken up and completed in March 2011. DMRC is now
implementing the Phase III of the Delhi Metro project covering
9
about 135 Km which is scheduled for commissioning by the end

of 2016.
DMRC has spearheaded a virtual Metro revolution in the
country as a result of which Metro systems are now under
implementation in 8 other cities of India namely, Mumbai,
Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkota, Hyderbad, Jaipur, Kochi and
Ahmedbad. DMRC prepared the DPRs for all these Metros and
is closely associated with their implementation. DMRC has
given final shape for the Monorail projects of Delhi, of
Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode cities of Kerala, and is
assisting the State Governments in implementing these projects.
4.0 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

4.1
General
The project covers a distance of 14.2 kms with 15 stations,

starting from Medical College Hostel to Meenchanda. The route
is along Calicut Mavoor Road till Mavoor Road junction. Then
it turns left towards Meenchanda along National Highway 766
and NH 66. The alignment and the locations of the stations are
shown in the map attached.
The entire stretch of alignment is elevated, carried on
single pillars generally located along the median of the road. At
the site of the fly over on the Mavoor Road, the alignment is
shifted to the right and is taken along the service road to avoid
the fly over. Similarly to avoid the proposed road over bridge
near Panniyankara Railway Over bridge junction, the alignment
is taken to the extreme left of the proposed fly over. Also at the
location where the alignment crosses Kallai river it is taken to
the left over a new bridge consisting of 3 x 30.5 metre spans
about 20 metre upstream of the existing road bridge.
10
The Depot is located about 500 metres east of Medical

College Hostel station (the starting station) on a 5.20 Hectare
vacant land belonging to the Government.
4.2 Civil Structures.

4.2.1. The track beams, for up and down tracks, are carried
over circular pillars of about 1000 mm diameter located
generally along the median of the road. The pier heads should
have a minimum clearance of 5.50 M above the road level. In
certain locations, the track beams have to be carried on
cantilever and at some locations the same are carried over
portals. The track beams which are hollow in the centre portion
and solid at the ends are to be cast with 3 dimension accuracy
at a central casting Depot proposed to be located in the Car
Depot yard itself and then carried by road trailers to the
erection sites and lifted by heavy duty cranes. Then they are to
be stitched together and pre-stressed over 5 spans to make one
continuous girder. At the expansion joints, special tongue and
grove type steel metallic bearings are used.
For evacuation of passengers in the event of the monorail
car becoming immobile, a pathway has been proposed between
and below the track beams.
4.2.2 Generally hard rock is met within 20 to 25 metres from
ground level and Mono piles may be considered for the
foundations thus eliminating pile caps. For special spans and
for the Kallai River crossing the foundations will be on pile
groups.
4.2.3 Two types of stations are proposed for the project, Type A
and Type B. In Type A all the facilities and technical rooms are
housed outside the right of way and only platforms are provided
over the road supported by pillars located on the median of the
road.
Type B stations are 2 level stations located over the
11
road itself, with a mezzanine floor which houses the passenger

facilities and technical rooms and the platforms provided above
the mezzanine level. The access to the station is provided from
outside the right of way. All platforms should have screen doors.
All stations will have elevators for old and physically challenged
persons. Escalators have been provided only at 3 important
stations viz. Medical College, Mananchira and Railway Station,
but provision has been kept for installing escalators at all other
stations in future. All stations will have fire detection and fire
fighting arrangements as prescribed in the National Building
Codes.
4.2.4. Minimum distance between track beam centres has been
kept as 3.80 metre. On curves, distance has been increased
based on the additional clearances needed for mid throw and
end throw as well as for super elevation.
The maximum
distance between the track beams on a curve of radius of 50 m
has been found to be 4.4 m.
The minimum radius adopted for the track alignment is 50
m and maximum gradient for the vertical alignment is 6%.
Proper transition curves for the horizontal and vertical curves as
well as cants and cant-deficiencies shall be provided as per the
best international practices.

COST ESTIMATES
Cost of civil structures has been estimated based on
Kerala State PWD schedule of rates (revised 2010) which
came into effect from 01.04.2011. The total cost of the
project based on April 2012 price level works out to Rs
17
15650million INR excluding taxes of Rs 2670million. The

completion cost of this project in 2015 comes to Rs.
19910million INR with central taxes.
7.1
Operation & maintenance costs

The Operation & Maintenance costs is divided into three
major parts:
(i)
Staff costs
(ii)
Maintenance cost which include expenditure

towards upkeep and maintenance of the
system and consumables
Energy costs
(iii)
The staff is assumed to be provided @ 25 persons per

kilometre. The escalation factor used for staff costs is 9%
per annum to provide for both escalation and growth in
salaries.
The cost of other expenses is based on the unit cost based
on the actuals being incurred on the Delhi Metro project.
The rate of electricity assumed is Rs. 4.00 per unit and the
same has been used for all calculations. The O&M cost
(excluding staff cost) has been assumed by providing an
escalation of 5% per annum.
The fare box revenue during the O & M period will be to
the credit of Kerala Monorail Corporation Limited.
8.0
Implmentation Plan
Since such a massive project, which is technically very

complex, has to be implemented in difficult urban
environments, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) Kerala Monorail
Corporation Limited (KMCL) has been set up for this purpose
18
which is fully empowered and mandated to complete the project

within four years. KMCL based on current bidding process shall
entrust the whole work on a turn-key basis to internationally
reputed firm/Consortium having experience, track record, and
competent technical manpower. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation
Limited has been appointed as General Consultants to the
project on a turnkey basis and will oversee the procurement,
implementation and safety aspects.
9.0
Implementation period.
From the date of award, R1 section from Medical College

to Mananchira (8 Km) including the Depot can be started and
shall be completed within 3 years from the date of award. R2
section from Mananchira to Meenchanda (6 Km) requires land
acquisition and this is expected to take nearly 2 years. Hence
works in this section can be started after two years and
completed within the next 2 years. Thus the whole Kozhikode
Project is expected to be completed in 4 years from the date of
award.
Further information regarding the entire project is available in
the DPR.

up to 14,000 in the horizon year 2041.
Today the only mode of Public transport system available
in the city is bus services, both privately owned and
Government owned through Kerala State Road Transport
Corporation (KSRTC). Total bus fleet operating within
Thiruvananthapuram is totally inadequate to carry even
the present level of traffic, with the result, the number of
private cars and two wheelers are increasing at an
alarming rate resulting in heavy congestion, low average
speed of vehicle and high level of pollution apart from an
alarming rate of road accidents.

near the city.
26
2.3
AIRWAYS
The Thiruvananthapuram airport (TRV) is situated about 5

kms from the city centre. It is an international airport and has
extensive international and domestic flights daily. It is
connected by non-stop flights to Chennai, Bangaluru, Mali,
Mumbai, Delhi, Singapore and nearly all the destinations in the

Administrative Sanction for the project as per order No. GO (Ms)
44/2013/PWD dated 30.05.2013 for an amount of 35900
million INR (approx. USD 641 millions). As per the approved
DPR, the total length of the Monorail system is 22.537 Kms with
19 stations
27
Govt. have constituted a Special Purpose Vehicle viz; Kerala

Monorail Corporation Limited (KMCL) to monitor and implement
the Project. KMCL is a fully owned Government of Kerala
Company and was incorporated on 05/12/2012 and has its
head office at Thiruvananthapuram and have set up
subordinate offices at Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode.

3.1
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited (DMRC)
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited is a joint venture

company of the Government of India and the Government of the
National Capital Region of Delhi incorporated in May 1995
having its Head office in New Delhi. It was formed for the
purpose of planning and implementing a World class Metro
system for the capital city of New Delhi. DMRC commenced
construction of the Ist phase of Delhi Metro project covering
65.30 Km in October 1998 and commissioned the entire length
by December 2005. Thereafter Phase II of Delhi Metro project
covering 124 Km was taken up and completed in March 2011.
DMRC is now implementing the Phase III of the Delhi Metro
project covering about 135 Km which is scheduled for
commissioning by the end of 2016.
DMRC has spearheaded a virtual Metro revolution in the
country as a result of which Metro systems are now under
implementation in 8 other cities of India namely, Mumbai,
Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkota, Hyderbad, Jaipur, Kochi and
Ahmedbad. DMRC prepared the DPRs for all these Metros and
is closely associated with their implementation. DMRC has
given final shape for the Monorail projects of Delhi, of
Thiruvananthapuram and Thiruvananthapuram cities of Kerala,
and is assisting the State Governments in implementing these
projects.

4.0 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

4.1
General
The first phase of the Thiruvananthapuram Monorail will start

from Technocity and shall terminate at Karamana covering a
distance of 22.537 km. with 19 stations along the old NH 47.
The alignment and the locations of the stations are shown in the
map attached.
The entire stretch is elevated, carried on single pillars
generally located along the median of the road. Slight deviations
are made in the alignment to accommodate the proposed flyover
at Kazhakuttam, Sreekariyam and Ulloor. Special span are
proposed where the mono rail is crossing the railway line at Rly.
Km 221/6 - 8.
The Depot is located in a 12.5 hectares of Government
land near CRF Camp at Pallipuram.
4.2
CIVIL STRUCTURES
4.2.1 The track beams for up and down tracks, are carried over
circular pillars of about 1000 mm diameter generally located
along the median of the road. The pier heads should have a
minimum clearance of 5.50 M above the road level. In certain
locations, the track beams have to be carried on cantilever and
at some locations the track beams are carried over portals. The
track beams which are hollow in the center portion and solid at
the ends are cast with 3 dimension accuracy at a central casting
Depot proposed to be located in the car Depot yard itself and
then carried by road trailers to the erection sites and lifted by
heavy duty cranes. Then they are stitched together and prestressed over 5 spans to make one continuous girder. At the
expansion joints special tongue and grove type steel metallic
bearings are used.
29
For evacuation of passengers in the event of the monorail

car becoming immobile, a pathway has been proposed between
and below the track beams.
4.2.2 Generally hard rock is met within 20 to 35 metres from
ground level and Mono piles may be considered for the
foundations thus eliminating pile caps. For special spans, the
foundations will be on pile groups.
4.2.3 Two types of stations are proposed for the project, Type1A & 1B and an Inter-change station. In both the Types-1A &
1B all the facilities and technical rooms are housed outside the
right of way and only platforms are provided over the road
supported by pillars located on the median of the road. Type1A Stations are proposed on 45m ROW i.e from Technocity to
Kazhakootam Jn. and Type-1B stations are on 20m ROW i.e
from Kazhakootam Jn, to Karamana. A mezzanine floor is
provided at 5.85M Level for passengers to cross the road safely
that can be used for people not using the system as a FOB
(foot over bridge) and is in unpaid area. The Platform level
houses the passenger facilities and technical rooms and the
platform. The access to the station is provided from outside the
right of way.
The Kesavadasapuram and Thampanoor stations are an Interchange station at which the provision for Line-2 has been kept
to provide great utility and flexibility for the system as a whole.
At the Interchange Stations passenger movements require more
space for circulation than normal stations and the platforms
have to be so provided to cater to large number of interchanging
passengers. A passage at mezzanine level has been proposed
under the viaduct for passengers to interchange form Lline-1 to
Line-2.
All stations will have elevators for old and physically challenged
persons. Escalators have been provided only at 6 important
stations, viz. Techno city, Kazhakoottam, Kesavadasapuram,
Pattom, Secretariat and Thampanoor but provision has been
kept for installing escalators at all other stations in future. All
30
stations will have fire detection and fire-fighting arrangements

as prescribed in the National Building Codes.
4.2.4 Minimum distance between track beam centers has
been kept as 3.80 meter. On curves, distance has been
increased based on the additional clearances needed for mid
throw and end throw as well as for super elevation. The
maximum distance between the track beams on a curve of
radius of 50 m has been found to be 4.4 m.
The minimum radius adopted for the track alignment is 50 m
and maximum gradient for the vertical alignment is 6%. Proper
transitions for the horizontal and vertical curves as well as
cants and cant-deficiencies have to be worked out and provided
as per the best international practices.
