After Edakochi & Kollam, Alappuzha May Make It to Union Govt Water Metro List
January 13, 2025
|The New Indian Express Kottayam
While the central government's move to include Kollam and Edakochi to its list of probable locations that can host water metro services opens avenues to further tap the state's inland water facilities, the Kochi Water Metro Ltd (KWML) plan to suggest Alappuzha's name could see Kerala becoming an even greater beneficiary of the transportation system.
The Union government has directed KWML to conduct a feasibility study of other possible locations for implementing the urban transport system.
TNIE had, in November 2023, reported on KWML plans to introduce operations on Ashtamudi Lake. The service was proposed to be operated on three routes: Munroe Island, Alappuzha and Varkala.
The Union government's decision to include Edakochi and Kollam in the feasibility study group was based on the direction of the ministry of ports, shipping and waterways to assess the potential for replicating the successful Kochi Water Metro model in 18 locations across the country.
