# Phase- II Corridor of Kochi Metro Rail Project (JLN Stadium to Infopark via Kakkanad)

**The General Consultant (GC) services for Phase-II Corridor from JLN Stadium to Infopark via Kakkanad represent SYSTRA India’s key contribution to expanding Kochi’s metro network. This 11.2 km elevated Pink Line will seamlessly extend the operational Phase-I network eastward. It will link the city centre to major IT and employment hubs such as Infopark, Smart City, Cochin Special Economic Zone (CSEZ), and KINFRA. As a result, the Kochi Metro Phase 2 Pink Line Project will provide fast, reliable, and sustainable connectivity. The project will significantly reduce road congestion, promote green mobility, and catalyse economic growth in Kakkanad and surrounding areas.**

As General Consultant, SYSTRA acts as the Engineer’s Representative. SYSTRA
delivers end-to-end project oversight from design validation and construction
supervision to systems integration, quality assurance, safety management, and
commissioning. In addition, we ensure the corridor meets world-class standards
while minimising disruption in a live urban environment.

## Key features of the project

- **11.2 km Elevated Pink Line: **Fully elevated viaduct corridor extends
  Phase-I at JLN Stadium to Infopark/Smart City via Kakkanad. It is designed for
  seamless integration with the existing metro network.
- **11 Elevated Stations:** Strategically located stations serve high-density
  employment and residential zones. These include Palarivattom Junction,
  Chembumukku, Vazhakkala, Kakkanad Junction, Cochin SEZ, KINFRA, and dual
  Infopark/Smart City stations.
- **Advanced Traction & Signaling:** 750 V DC third-rail traction system and
  Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) provide high reliability. In
  addition, the system ensures energy efficiency and headway optimisation.
- **Operational Performance: **The line provides a maximum operating speed of 80
  kmph. It also offers provisions for future-proof capacity enhancement and
  multi-modal integration, such as feeder buses and public bicycle sharing.
- **Sustainable Urban Mobility: **Elevated design minimises land acquisition.
  The focus includes green construction practices, noise & vibration control,
  and seamless last-mile connectivity. As a result, the project will boost daily
  ridership and reduce carbon footprint.
