Land Acquisition Delays Kochi Metro Phase II Construction Progress

The lengthy land acquisition processes are causing delays in Kochi Metro Rail Limited’s (KMRL) Phase II project, which runs from JLN Stadium to Kakkanad. Revenue authorities have postponed the 19(1) notice for several station locations by granting a six-month delay for the 11(1) notification.

Notwithstanding this setback, first construction on the 11.2 km piling and corridor for the viaduct and CEZ Metro station started in September. KMRL is still dedicated to finishing the project in 20 months, and preliminary preparations are being made from JLN Stadium to InfoPark to enable full-scale development.

Land Acquisition Delays Kochi Metro Phase II Construction Progress

The construction of Kochi Metro’s Phase II has encountered delays due to challenges in land acquisition, slowing down the much-anticipated expansion of the city’s metro network. The project, aimed at enhancing urban mobility and reducing traffic congestion, has been facing setbacks as authorities struggle to acquire the necessary land parcels for key infrastructure components.

Challenges in Land Acquisition

A significant portion of the land required for the metro corridor is yet to be acquired, with legal disputes, compensation negotiations, and resistance from landowners contributing to the delay. Despite efforts by the Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) and local authorities, the process has not progressed as expected, impacting project timelines.

Impact on Project Timeline

The delay in land acquisition has affected multiple aspects of construction, including station development and track laying. Originally scheduled for completion within a defined timeframe, the project may now see a revised deadline if land acquisition hurdles persist.

Government and KMRL Response

Officials are working on resolving the issues by engaging with stakeholders, expediting compensation settlements, and exploring alternative solutions. Efforts are being made to ensure minimal disruption to the project’s overall execution.

Despite the challenges, the government remains committed to completing Kochi Metro Phase II and improving the city’s public transportation infrastructure.
