A sum of Rs 1,957 cr. earmarked in Monday s Union Budget The Centre has accorded the green signal for Kochi Metro s long-overdue 11.20-km-long Kakkanad (Infopark) extension, with ₹1,957 crore being earmarked in Monday s Union Budget.
The project cost includes the expenses for land acquisition and taxes. The State Government had sanctioned the project in 2019.
The phase-two extension to Kakkanad that will take off from Jawaharlal Nehru International (JLN) Stadium and terminate at Infopark, will thus provide a metro-rail link between the city hub and the expanding IT hub.
