Kochi Corporation clears 30 projects worth ₹1,500 crore for Urban Challenge Fund
Kochi Corporation has approved 30 projects totaling ₹1,500 crore for the Urban Challenge Fund. The plans cover mobility hubs, a civic tower, a cultural district and a waste‑processing plant under the Kochi@2050 vision. The central government will grant 25% of the cost. Some opposition councillors question the focus on revenue‑generating projects and the use of land set aside for welfare.
