20 Feb 2026 CW Team

KMRL said services on the Kochi Metro will be extended to 11 pm from Feb 15. The move will alter the current timetable to provide later evening trains for commuters. KMRL indicated that the change is scheduled to take effect on the specified date and will be reflected in published timetables prior to implementation.

The extension will apply across the metro network and will affect services during the late evening period, altering departure and arrival patterns. Details on additional trains or revised frequencies were not specified in the announcement. Passengers who travel in the late evening will experience a longer window of scheduled service.

KMRL said the change aims to accommodate varied travel needs in the city and to provide greater flexibility for those commuting after regular business hours. The later closing time is intended to integrate with other modes of transport that operate into the evening. Officials advised that operational adjustments will be made to ensure safety and punctuality.

Commuters and regular users of the metro were encouraged to consult official schedules before travel and to plan journeys with the updated timing in mind. Information on first and last train timings for individual stations will be issued by KMRL on its communication channels. The operator will maintain regular monitoring during the initial days of the change.

The extension is part of adjustments to urban transport schedules that authorities undertake to align service availability with passenger demand and urban mobility patterns. KMRL said it will continue to review service levels and make further changes if necessary to improve convenience and connectivity for the public. Commuters were reminded to follow guidance on safety and to check for updates ahead of the February 15 start date.
