Q:
What exactly is the current news on the water supply scheme in Eloor, Kochi? Will it affect the real estate trends in the area?
Latest Answer: All is not lost! FACT has said that they would continue water supply scheme in Eloor for one more year. Jan 15 was when this project had to stop to allow Kerela Water Authority to take over but because the other companies had limited funds, the water supply had stopped. But FACT had to continue the water supply under all circumstances. So KWA would have to use the water being pumped from Kalamassery under the Kochi water supply scheme exclusively for Eloor after this period is over. Right now the water from Kalamassery is being split between Eloor and Varapuzha and both regions don't have adequate drinking water. I don't think the area seems promising for real estate investment at least not right now.
Q:
So I recently read in the news that the Kochi Metro Rail will do wonders for Tripunithra's real estate. What's the locality like in terms of its civic problems and property potential?
Latest Answer: Some members of the royal family still stay in Tripunithra! So apart from just being a fast developing locality, this place is also a major tourist sttraction in Kochi. Some parts of the royal family house has even been converted into a museum. Now this isn't the best real estate locality with the greatest potential in Kochi. But you do get affordable houses and rent is much cheaper here than in places like MG road and Marine Drive. In fact, it actually seems like the better option because it's got great connectivity and infrastructure facilities. It seems to be turning into a prominent location for residential homes because there are tons of vacant plots here that many people are interested in.

Q:
There is a lot of traffic because of the Metro construction in Kochi. Are the metro authorities doing anything about this?
Latest Answer: The Metro officials are doing something to ease traffic, but maybe it is not helping. Because of Metro works, many roads have been damaged, which are being repaired. The GCDA has proposed to widen and tar STP Road, and also the Chilavanoor Bund Road. There is traffic jam almost every day near the KSRTC depot, A L Jacob railway overbridge, and Kathrikkadavu junction. The Paradise road which is being built to reduce traffic, is taking a long time to construct. Recently CPI(M) party workers protested against the slow progress of the widening and tarring of roads near Metro sites. This will hopefully help in the Corporation and Kochi Metro Rail Limited taking some action, and reduce traffic congestion in many areas of the city.
