Ernakulam's Water Metro system surpasses 5 million riders by December 1, 2025, thanks to three new routes linking Vadakkekotta, Konthuruthy, and Kakkanad. As India's first 35km integrated water transport network, it enhances access to isolated residential areas, driving real estate growth and property values in Kochi.
As gold prices soar to a record ₹11,465 per gram, Ernakulam residents pivot to real estate investments. This shift boosts property values by 10.4% year-on-year in early 2025, with domestic buyers dominating over 60% of purchases amid infrastructure growth and IT demand in Kochi.
