KMRL Nears Finish on Kochi's NMT Project

In a significant development for Kochi's urban infrastructure, the Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) is on the verge of completing roadworks for its ambitious Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) project. The initiative, aimed at enhancing sustainable and eco-friendly commuting options, is set to conclude next month.

The KMRL's commitment to prioritizing non-motorised transport aligns with global efforts towards greener and more efficient urban mobility solutions. The project encompasses the creation of dedicated pathways for pedestrians and cyclists, fostering a safer and more accessible urban environment.

This strategic move comes amidst growing concerns about pollution, traffic congestion, and the need for sustainable alternatives. By emphasising non-motorised transport, KMRL seeks to reduce the carbon footprint, promote healthier lifestyles, and ease traffic congestion in Kochi.

The roadworks' completion marks a significant milestone for the project, unlocking a new era of urban transport in Kochi. As the city evolves, the integration of pedestrian and cyclist-friendly infrastructure is expected to redefine the urban landscape.

The KMRL's dedication to the NMT project underscores its commitment to sustainable development and aligns with the global shift towards eco-conscious urban planning. The upcoming conclusion of the roadworks brings Kochi one step closer to providing its residents with a modern and efficient non-motorised transport network.
