Kochi Metro’s Phase 2 project with one new 11.2 km Pink Line and 11 stations was approved by the Kerala Government in July 2018 with an estimated cost of Rs 2,310 crore.
Kochi Metro Phase 2 includes the construction of a spur line from Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium to Infopark II in Kakkanad. Its Rs. 1141.32 crore construction contract was awarded to Afcons Infrastructure in June 2024 with a tight 600 day construction deadline.
Kochi Metro Phase 2’s Detailed Project Report (DPR) was approved by India’s Central Government’s Cabinet in September 2022 with an estimated cost of Rs. Rs.1,957.05 crore
Phase 2 will partly be funded by Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) through a a $122mn loan approved in August 2024.
I expect Kochi Metro’s Phase 2 to be fully completed and opened by Q1 2028.
