About Kozhikode Metro

Kozhikode Light Metro is an Urban Light Rail Transit (LRT) system consisting of 1 line and 14 stations proposed in the Kozhikode city of Kerala.

The 13.3 km Stage 1 project of the Kozhikode Metro will be set up by the Kerala Rapid Transit Corporation Limited (KRTL), a Special Projects Vehicle (SPV) of the Government of Kerala. In 2016, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DRC) was appointed as interim consultant, but the project was abandoned in 2018 due to slow progress.

In 2017, the project was put on hold due to high cost and low ridership estimates that were not up to the standards of the new metro rail policy of the Government of India.

The designs prepared by the firms were approved by the Retail Board of Democrats Company in October 2020 and by the State Government of Kerala in February 2021.
