• Timing delays
• Weather risk
• Grid connection delays
• Staff and equipment availability
• Transportation

• Political Agenda – Due to differences between the ruling party of
state and Centre there is an obvious delay in the project.

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some have even withdrawn from the project.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.
