Indias march towards sustainable and ecofriendly inland water transport network has received a major boost. Nearly two dozen modern electric ferries are under construction at the Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) for Kochis public transport network. This would provide not only alternate public transport to 100,000 people living in the city and its suburbs, as also reduce air pollution. The ferries will connect 10 islands and stop at 38 different terminals reducing load on the highly stressed urban transport network.
