Kochi Metro Phase Two Pink Line Nears 50 Per Cent Civil Completion

10 Mar 2026 CW Team

A report in The New Indian Express noted that station construction has now begun at Chembumukku and Padamughal, and that these commencements are expected to speed the overall schedule. Work at Chembumukku had been held up despite agreement by St Michael's Church authorities to hand over the required land, because procedural formalities were pending. The collectorate issued the formal land acquisition notification and work on the site has therefore commenced, while other portions continue to progress.

At Padamughal, earlier resistance from a landowner over part of the proposed station location compelled authorities to identify an alternative site and finalise arrangements. Authorities have started work on the left side of the road after issuing land acquisition notifications and are awaiting the corresponding notifications for the right side. Officials indicated that discussions over the remaining land issues are complete and that outstanding formalities are expected to be resolved shortly, allowing further construction to proceed.

With these obstacles addressed, civil works on the Pink Line are moving forward and KMRL anticipates that the pace of construction will pick up in the coming months as station works expand. The removal of land and procedural bottlenecks is likely to accelerate viaduct and station completion, improving prospects for earlier operational readiness along the corridor. Continued monitoring of land acquisition processes and contractor mobilisation will determine how rapidly remaining sections progress for the benefit of commuters.

Construction on Kochi Metro Rail Ltd (KMRL) Phase Two, known as the Pink Line, is steadily accelerating as overall civil works approach 50 per cent completion, according to company officials. The project has cleared several critical bottlenecks that had delayed station works and the reporting indicates that momentum is building across the corridor. Officials said the resumption of work on key sites has been central to the recent uptick in progress.
