Thiruvananthapuram, Kozhikode light metros: KMRL to ready DPR in 10 months

DPR KMRL Kozhikode Loknath Behera Thiruvananthapuram MoHUA State Cabinet DMRC

The State Cabinet entrusting Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) on Wednesday with the task of readying a detailed project report (DPR) for light metro and metro neo projects envisaged for Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode respectively has come as a confidence booster for the metro agency, which recently executed the Kochi metro’s Pettah-SN Junction corridor.

The 1.80-km extension is awaiting commissioning, while the metro agency has set December as the deadline to complete the 1-km SN Junction-Thripunithura terminal station corridor. The metro’s 25-km Aluva-Pettah corridor had been executed by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), which had also readied its DPR.

A team of senior technical personnel who were in the DMRC are part of the team which joined KMRL and have hence been spearheading extensions beyond Pettah.
