Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) is a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) formed for the implementation of Kochi Metro Rail Project. KMRL is a joint venture company with equal equity contribution of Government of India and Government of Kerala. In Phase-I, KMRL proposed to have 22 stations covering a distance of 25 km from Aluva to Petta.
