             The year 2023-24 witnessed several significant
             milestones for KMRL. We celebrated the
             inauguration of the Thrippunithura station on

             March 6th, 2024, marking the successful
             completion of Phase 1 of the Kochi Metro
             project.


             Beyond ridership, we have explored avenues for additional revenue
             generation. Notably, KMRL has successfully leased out a total of seven

             pairs of dark fibers, creating a new income stream. We have also made
             significant strides in operational efficiency. The single-point upload
             system has significantly streamlined the process of uploading
             advertisement videos in train , saving time and effort.



             Sustainability is at the forefront of Phase 2 construction. A
             comprehensive rainwater harvesting system has been implemented
             across stations and the depot. This initiative not only conserves water but

             also reduces our reliance on KWA supplies. Additionally, we have
             established an in-house signalling lab. This lab allows us to repair faulty,
             non-vital signalling spares by replacing affected components, minimizing
             waste and promoting resource conservation.



             We haven't stopped there. Recognizing a design limitation in our spare
             cell chargers, we have implemented changes to enhance both safety and
             operational efficiency. Additionally,  development of  Inventory

             Management Application software solution that streamlines inventory
             management processes improved internal efficiency and helped in
             controlling the spare inventory.



             We are committed in ensuring that Kochi Metro operates in an
             environmentally responsible and socially conscious manner. By
             implementing sustainable practices and setting industry benchmarks, we
             are confident in our ability to contribute to a greener and more

             prosperous future for Kochi.
                                                                                 Sanjay Kumar
