DMRC likely to join as Kochi Metro consultant

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, which has ruled out participating in a global tender for Kochi Metro, may don the role of a principal consultant.
“Chennai and Bangalore metro projects are being carried out with DMRC as prime consultant. If Kerala Government requests us, we may heed that,” DMRC project director, Mr P Sriram, said.
The Kochi Metro Rail Ltd MD, Mr Tom Jose, said such an option was possible.“Kerala has been saying all the while that it’s following the Chennai metro model. Since Chennai has availed services of DMRC as a prime consultant, we too are happy to follow suit,” he said.
