KOCHI ( Metro Rail News ): After Kochi Metro Rail Ltd (KMRL) opened the technical bids, eight companies have submitted their proposals for the General Consultant (GC) contract of Kochi Metro Phase 2.
This pre-construction contract is significant for Phase 2, which includes the
construction of a new 11.2 km elevated corridor, named the Pink Line,
