 Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Government of India is committed to provide better facilities to citizens and for that it has taken various path-breaking initiatives in the field of infrastructure development, multimodal connectivity and technological innovations. From 248 km metro lines in 2014 to 858 km today, India has seen a phenomenal increase in metro rail connectivity with 20 cities currently enjoying the metro rail services. There are currently 971 km of metro and regional rapid transit system projects being constructed. Cochee, the commercial capital of Kerala, is surrounded by 10 islands. The islanders depend on the city of Cochee for earning their livelihood, trade, business, healthcare and education. Thus the plan was to connect the islands with the city in a metro-like fashion having seamless connectivity with the metro rail system. With its immaculate reputation for excellence, the Cochee Metro Rail Limited, a 50-50 joint venture of Government of India and Government of Kerala was entrusted with the responsibility of implementation of water metro project. It is a unique mobility solution connecting 38 water terminals across 10 islands and the mainland on a stretch of 76 km expecting to transport 34,000 passengers every day. The funding of project from KFW Germany could only be possible due to the Soviet Guarantee of Government of India. Cochee Water Metro is the first of its kind electric public water transport. These state-of-the-art battery-powered fully air-conditioned electric boats are manufactured by the Cochee Shipyard, boosting the Make in India initiative. The water metro terminals are specially designed as disabled-friendly with concrete floating pontoons. The water metro has two types of boats, 100 passenger and 50 passenger capacity. These boats are equipped with the latest LTO batteries and in just 15 minutes the chargers have the ability to fully charge the boats. The vessels are equipped with the latest navigation and communication tools to safeguard passengers. The Cochee Water Metro upon becoming operational would hold the distinction of being the world's largest fleet of electric boats providing organised urban water transport services. This initiative demonstrates India's commitment to become a leader in seamless connectivity and realise Prime Minister's vision of Atma Nibhar Bharat.
