Union Urban Development Minister Kamal Nath today said that the Centre has given its in-principle nod for the Rs 1,600-crore monorail project in Kozhikode.
Speaking at the function in which Prime Minister Manmohan Singh laid foundation stone for the Kochi Metro project, Kamal Nath urged the State government to entrust the work of the monorail project to Kochi Metro Rail Ltd (KMRL).
Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram are the two cities in Kerala where monorails are proposed. While a stretch of 16 km, with a construction cost of Rs 1,600 crore is proposed in Kozhikode, the distance to be covered in Thiruvananthapuram will be 24 km with a construction cost of Rs 2,500 crore.
The Centre will provide financial support for these projects, he said.
