Following the success of the
Kochi Water Metro, Kochi Metro Rail Ltd. (KMRL) is working on replicating the
eco-friendly water transport system in 18 locations across India. KMRL, which operates and
maintains the Kochi Water Metro, has been tasked by the Ministry of Ports,
Shipping, and Waterways to conduct a feasibility study for implementing similar
systems in various regions.
To lead this initiative,
KMRL’s Board of Directors recently approved the formation of a consultancy
wing, and an in-house committee has been set up to guide the preliminary work. External experts will be
consulted, if necessary. This expansion of the Water Metro model is seen as a
significant recognition of Kerala’s innovation and KMRL’s expertise. The Kochi
Water Metro, known for its modern facilities and eco-friendly design, has set a
new standard for urban water transport, comparable to metro rail systems.
The feasibility study will
explore the potential for water metro services in areas with rivers, lakes,
backwaters, and coastal regions. Possible locations for the service include
Guwahati’s Brahmaputra River, Jammu and Kashmir’s Dal Lake, and the island
connections in Andaman and Lakshadweep, along with other cities such as
Ahmedabad, Surat, Mangaluru, Ayodhya, Dhubri, Goa, Kollam, Kolkata, Patna,
Prayagraj, Srinagar, Varanasi, Mumbai, Kochi, and Vasai.
Based on the study’s outcomes, KMRL will
move forward with preparing Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for the most
suitable locations. The initiative is part of a broader effort to harness
water bodies for sustainable urban transport and aims to revolutionize mobility
across the country, highlighting Kerala’s leadership in sustainable development
and modern transport innovation.
