It is the first water metro system in India and the first integrated water transport system of this size in Asia. When fully operational, it will connect Kochi's 10 islands with the mainland through a fleet of 78 hybrid electric boats operating along 38 terminals and 16 routes spanning 76 kilometres (47 mi). It is integrated with the Kochi Metro and serves as a feeder service to the suburbs along the rivers, backwaters and canals where transport access is limited. Construction started in 2016, and the first route was inaugurated in February 2021 by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. It was officially inaugurated and opened to passengers by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 25 April 2023. As of October 2026, the Kochi Water Metro had served over 7.7 million passengers.
