Kerala enjoys the advantage of being on the transnational trade
corridor, connecting the Gulf to Singapore, Europe and to the Far
East.
With the Arabian Sea to the west, the Western Ghats towering 500-
2700 m in the east and networked by forty-four rivers, Kerala enjoys
diverse geographical features. From tall mountains and deep valleys
to endless backwaters and an extensive coastline, Kerala has it all.
Bestowed with a pleasant and equable climate throughout the year,
Kerala is a tropical land with the coast running down its entire length
and the Western Ghats forming a protective barrier against the dry
winds from upto north. The monsoons (June-September & October-
November) and summer (February-May) are the seasons markedly
experienced here, while winter is only a slight drop in temperature
from the normal range of 28-32°C.

Kochi Metro Rail Project
Vizhinjam International Deepwater Multipurpose
Seaport

11. Supplementary Gas
Infrastructure Project
A Joint Venture Company, Kerala Gail Gas Limited
(KGGL) has been formed between KSIDC and M/s. Gail
Gas Limited. KGGL will take up activities like City Gas
Distribution in Kerala, CNG Stations for KSRTC Buses,
establishment of Gas Training Institute, laying of Spur
Lines from GAIL's main pipeline, setting up of small
Gas based small power generating plants etc. The total
investment for the project is estimated at Rs.2,000
Crores ($400 million).
12. Kochi Metro Rail Project
The Project envisages construction of a world-class Light
Mass Rapid Transit System in Kochi to enhance the quality
of life for the Greater Kochi metro area by improving
regional connections and reducing overcrowding, traffic
congestion, transit time, air and noise pollution. The
Project, having a total route length of 25 Km would be
having 21 stations, from Aluva to Petta. The construction
methodology proposed is elevated viaduct carried over pre-
stressed concrete ‘U’ shaped girders. A Special Purpose
Vehicle (SPV) by the name ‘Kochi Metro Rail Limited’ has
been formed for the implementation of the project. The
estimated project cost is Rs. 4500 Crores ($900 million).
13. Vizhinjam International Deepwater
Multi
purpose Seaport
This Multipurpose Seaport is an ambitious project of Government of
Kerala, being developed at Vizhinjam in Thiruvananthapuram. The
project is proposed to follow Landlord Port Model, where dredging,
reclamation and basic infrastructure like construction of break-water
and quay will be done by Vizhinjam International Seaport Ltd (a
company fully owned by Govt of Kerala). Port Operation will be on PPP
model. Terminal superstructure will be built by private operator who
will also operate and maintain it for 30 years. The port development
along with the external infrastructure work is envisaged to be carried
out in phases with the cumulative cost estimated at around Rs. 7000
Crores ($1.4 billion). The port is envisaged to provide in total 2000m of
quay length in three phases and is designed to cater primarily for
containers transshipment, besides providing for other type of cargo such

14. Monorail Project in
Thiruvananthapuram
This is a prestigious single-rail mass transit project of Government of
Kerala having a route length of 28.4 Km, connecting the towns of
Kazhakuttom and Balaramapuram in Thiruvananthapuram district.
Monorail is a rail-based transportation system based on a single rail,
which acts as its sole support and guideway. The rail will be
straightened on a track upon the median that divides the main road.
Concerns like land acquisition will be minimum, as only junctions are
needed to be widened to incorporate the passage. The running train is
to comprise of four cars capable of carrying more than 200 persons at
a time. The trains would breeze past through the elevated rails at a
safe speed of 40Kmph. The total project cost is estimated at Rs. 3408
Crores ($682 million). The detailed Traffic study on the project is being
done by National Transportation Planning & Research Centre (NATPAC).
