Kochi Metro to Develop Mumbai Water Metro Project
Kochi Metro will help Mumbai build its water transport system.
They are hired to create a detailed plan, the DPR.
The goal is to make it easier for people to get around by connecting different types of transport, by spanning across water bodies like Vaitarna, Vasai, Manori, Thane, Panvel, and Karanja.
Kochi Metro is extending their expertise to create sustainable mobility solutions.
This is to boost intermodal connectivity.
Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) was selected to prepare a DPR for Mumbai's Water Metro.
