The country's first water metro project, Kochi Water Metro, which connects ten islands around the port city of Kochi, will start on a pilot basis in July 2022.

The integrated ferry transportation project in the Greater Kochi region is presented by Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL).

It will be a socially inclusive transport system with an elite touch with an affordable label. The test drives have already started and work on the main terminal has been completed. Kochi Water Metro, a subsidiary of Kochi Metro Rail Ltd, has streamlined 15 routes spanning 75 km, and the Cochin Shipyard Ltd is creating electric-powered hybrid boats.
