Fri Mar 14 20:33:31 UTC 2025: ## Kochi Metro Speed Restrictions Expected to Lift by March 17
**KOCHI, March 15, 2025** – Speed restrictions imposed on the Kochi metro’s Kaloor-JLN stadium corridor are expected to be lifted by March 17th, sources within Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) announced today. The restrictions, implemented in February following the discovery of wear and tear on a pedestal bearing, have been in place for over a month.
Repair work, using specialized materials procured by KMRL and carried out by an external agency, has commenced and is on schedule for completion by the target date. While initially projected to take 10 days, the process has been slightly delayed due to material procurement issues. Once repairs are complete, trains will resume normal operating speeds along the affected corridor. KMRL assures the public that the maintenance process is prioritizing the structural integrity and operational efficiency of the metro system.
