Speaking on the milestone, Swapneel Nagarkar, Senior Vice President & Business Head, Interio by Godrej, said, “Infrastructure is a key enabler of India’s journey to becoming a $26 trillion economy. At Interio, we are proud to partner with government and public sector enterprises to create spaces that are modern, efficient and human-centric. Our turnkey capabilities across design, engineering and execution demonstrate our ability to deliver large-scale, multi-disciplinary projects with precision and innovation. These partnerships in Kerala reinforce our commitment to shaping India’s infrastructure story through sustainability, inclusivity and forward-thinking design.”

The KMRL contract represents Interio’s first Electrical and Mechanical project, highlighting its expanding capabilities in integrated turnkey execution. The scope includes electrical systems, ventilation and air conditioning (VAC), and fire protection across 10 elevated metro stations, property development (PD) zones, and the viaduct between JLN Stadium (excluding) and Infopark Station.

Interio has also delivered India’s first neurodiverse-friendly workspace for KSITIL at Infopark—covering 50,000 sq ft of interiors and 65,000 sq ft of façade works as part of the Ernakulam South Metro Station PD area. The project integrates sensory-responsive design, adaptive lighting and inclusive layouts aligned with KSITIL’s goals of accessibility, innovation and sustainability. Scope of work included interior fit-outs, architectural finishes, façade engineering and full MEP integration.

In addition, KMRL has declared Interio by Godrej as the lowest bidder for the Architectural Finishing Contract for Kochi Metro Phase 2, covering block work, plumbing and interior finishing across five elevated stations—Palarivattom Junction, Alinchuvadu, Chembumukku, Vazhakkala and Padamughal.

The KSITIL project, located above an active metro station and beside a live railway corridor, was completed with zero safety incidents and has earned high commendation from KSITIL, Infopark, Indian Railways and KMRL for its design quality, precision execution and uncompromising safety standards.
