Vande Bharat trains made by y are indigenous to India. India also produces metro trains that travel to different cities. The Kochi water metro boats are similarly made in India. There is no question that the water metro will gain popularity for backwater tourism and ease transit for residents of Kochi’s outlying islands. In Kochi, Inter-modular connectivity would be accessible at bus stops, metro stations, and boat jetties. With the completion of the Rail Track Acceleration Project, semi-hybrid trains would be able to travel between Thiruvananthapuram and Mangalore, according to the Prime Minister.

“I am sure that both these initiatives under the Government of Kerala will emerge as models for the entire country. Additionally, we appreciate that you are dedicating several rail projects in Kerala to the nation and laying the cornerstone for them. Initiatives that require a special focus include developing our railway stations, building new rail lines, doubling and electrifying existing rail lines, enhancing our signal systems, speeding up our trains and introducing new trains. I have no doubt that we can make incredible progress in these areas if the Federal and State Governments collaborate diligently. Make Kerala’s growth a benchmark for cooperative federalism in the coming days. I’ll sign off by thanking you on behalf of Kerala for assigning a Vande Bharat train for us. We anticipate more to come. I want to thank you again.”
