5. 5. HISTORY AND BACKGROUND•22 Dec 2004 : DPR (Detailed Project Report) for
KochiMetro, assigned it to DMRC(Delhi Metro Rail Corporation)•Expected to start by 2006,
but delayed Reasons for Delay 1)Refusal by Central Government 2)Refusal by Ministry of
Urban Development and Planning Commission 3)Political rivalry between LDF Government
in Kerala andthe UPA Government at the centre
6. 6. COST, CONSTRUCTION AND CHARACTERISTICS• A joint venture by the central and
state governments• Follows the Chennai and Delhi Metro Model• The total cost of Rs.
5,181.79 crores• To be completed in three stages• To start operation from 2016
7. 7. 3 PHASES• Phase 1 : The Kochi Metro Rail Corporation has proposed an elevated route
spanning 25.253 km from Thripunithura to Aluva .There will be 22 stations• Phase 2 : The
feasibility study for Phase II of the Kochi Metro Rail project will mainly focus on extending
services to Ernakulam Boat Jetty via High Court Junction. It will also analyse the possibility
of adding new lines to connect the proposed Metro Rail with Nedumbassery. The study will
begin after the project gets the Centre‟s nod.• Phase 3 (Future expansion) : Many possible
extensions of the metro to Menaka, Kakkanad, Tripunithura, Cochin International Airport and
West Kochi have been proposed. There is a proposal for the metro rail project to be
extended from Aluva to the Cochin International Airport at Nedumbassery, a distance of
about 8 km.KMRL also has plans to extend the Kochi metro rail up to Kakkanad from
Palarivattom. However, KMRL MD,Tom Jose have said that any extensions would be taken
up only in Phase II after the construction of the Aluva - Pettah route
8. 8. JAPANESE AGENCY TO FUND FOR KOCHI METRO• The Japan International
Cooperation Agency (JICA), which partially funded Delhi Metro Rail Corporations‟s Phase-I
and II projects will be the main source of funding for the Kochi Metro.• The Japanese agency
will provide 51 per cent of the total estimated cost of Rs 4,427 crore at an interest of 1.5 per
cent.• The loan is for a period of 30 years. It will also have a moratorium period of 10 years.

26. 26. Why Kochi Metro???...• Ministry of Urban Development predicts an average city speed of
6 to 8 kmph by 2030, which is the speed of a morning walker, if urban transport is not
properly planned and developed now.• The present transport facilities are inadequate to
handle every day demands.• Gridlocks and congestion are routine now; they result in
wastage of manpower, fossil fuels, increase pollution and act as dampeners to economic
development.
27. 27. • The traffic snarls force people to spend time on the road which they would otherwise
spend with their friends and families.• Further road development is very limited owing to
geographical and demographical limitations forcing to think over the most convenient mode
of transportation.• The Kochi Metro Rail Project is the first move in such a direction in Kerala
with an aim to convert Kochi city to Kochi metro city.
28. 28. ENVIRONMENTAL MEASURES• Use of low green house gas emitting engine
technology• Use of regenerative breaking system.• Management of air and dust .•
Management of noise and vibration.• Soil and land management.• Landscape and
aesthetics.• Traffic management.
29. 29. ADVANTAGES OF METRO SYSTEM• Requires 1/5th energy per passenger
km.compared to road- based system.• Cause no air pollution in the city and lesser noise
levels.• Reduces journey time by anything between 50% and 75% depending on road
conditions.• Occupies no road space if underground and only about 2 metre width of the
road,along central median, if elevated.• Is more reliable, comfortable and safer than road
based system.
30. 30. • Accessing jobs, education, livelihoods and other social needs from the outskirts into the
business centre of the city would become much easier and less time consuming and quality
of life will increase for the urban population.• The average citizen of Kochi would get punctual
mode of transport at affordable rates.
31. 31. SUPPORTING ACTIVITIES• Resurfaced 21 roads.• Recruited traffic wardens.• Decided
to shift vyttila station to vyttila mobility hub.• The hub authorities are planning to build a new
boat jetty. Thus Kochi metro project became the first metro in the country which connects
rail, road and water transportation facilities.• Clean the major canal of kochi, thevara–
perandoor canal.

33. 33. CONCLUSION
34. 34. • Latest news
35. 35. North Overbrigde contruction• New lanes of North overbridge to be opened for traffic by
September• The project to widen and rebuild the side bays of the Ernakulam North
overbridge is nearing completion. The two new lanes are expected to be thrown open to
traffic by the first week of September.• As part of this, 12 pre-cast RCC girders – the last of
the total 40 girders, were put in place on Monday midnight and Tuesday. The two new lanes
would form lanes one and four of the proposed four-lane bridge, for which a nine-month
deadline had been set. The existing bridge will be pulled down and rebuilt once traffic is
diverted through the new lanes. The metro-rail pillars will pass through the centre of the four-
lane bridge, at a height of seven metres above the bridge surface.• Easing traffic• “The two-
lanes could have been opened to traffic before August, but for the delay of about two months
in relocating power and water lines. Lanes two and three at the centre will be completed in
another nine months, beginning September,” said an official of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation.
The decision to widen the bridge was taken since it was a major bottleneck in the city and
would have further choked traffic when work on the Kochi metro rail begins.• Advanced
techniques are being adopted for speedy completion of the bridge and to lessen the
disturbance to local residents and motorists. “Silent generators are being used and a
specialist agency was roped in to dismantle the bridge‟s two-wheeler bays. Grievances of
nearby shop owners and others are attended to immediately and remedial action taken,” said
an engineer associated with the project.• Modern machinery• The girders were pre-cast at
the Manappattiparambu ground and taken to the work site in trailer lorries. The use of
modern machinery ensures that work can go on even when traffic is moving through the
bridge‟s central portion.• “Boom-placer pumps that can be extended upto 30 m are being
used for concreting. They are remote-controlled. As for piling, crawler-mounted hydraulic rigs
whose height can be adjusted were used. A telescopic fully-automatic crane with 100 MT
capacity is being used and it can stretch from lane one to lane four over vehicular traffic,” he
said.• With the project‟s deadline approaching, more workers and engineers are being
posted on night shift. The retaining walls on the approach spans are being built. Though the
structural portion will be over in another 15 days, the mud that would be filled within has to
consolidate.
36. 36. Kochi Metro gets new managing director• The Kerala govt on Tuesday appointed Elias
George, a senior IAS officer, as managing director of Kochi Metro Rail Corporation Limited in
place of Tom Jose.• Jose has been appointed as secretary, Public Works Department.• The
government‟s decision comes in the wake of a number of allegations levelled against Jose
as managing director of Komet, including a letter he wrote to DMRC stating global tender
would be invited for the Rs 5,000 crore project.• However, neither the state government nor
the director board of the company had taken this decision. DMRC had prepared the detailed
project report and started construction of the two overbridges as a preparatory work. This
created a row over its implementation and later chief minister Oommen Chandy clarified that
DMRC would be entrusted with the project and its mentor E Sreedharan would associate
with it as adviser.
