9. Risk associated with project
• Timing delays
• Weather risk
• Grid connection delays
• Staff and equipment availability
• Transportation
• Ground conditions
• Environmental or health and safety incidents
• Public protests
• Covid-19 Pandemic
• Political Agenda – Due to differences between the ruling party of
state and Centre there is an obvious delay in the project.
• Unavailability of Fund – The project requires very high funding of RS
63000 cr. and due to the delays, the investors are getting cold feet
some have even withdrawn from the project.

10. Recommendations
• It is recommended to construct Metro Stations Near
Beaches so it would be benefitted for tourist also.
• A series of meetings/discussions/presentations
happened with Railways and GOK authorities.
• Government should keep in check regarding
environmental effect.
• The concerned department must speed up the work
of as the more delay will cost more.

11. Conclusion
• According to the DPR and our study, the building of the
25.65 km long Metro Rail corridor is technically and
economically viable.
• This plan is a cost-effective transportation option for the
state of Kerala that would provide significant advantages
to the people.
• This Project will result in overall rapid development of
the State's economy due to the synergistic development
of all communities en-route.
• All of this, however, is only possible if the phase 2 and 3
is finished within the projected time and cost.
