Godrej Interio has already partnered on four metro rail projects across the country including Kolkata, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Kochi. As metro stations in many parts of the world reflect the culture of the city, Godrej Interio on customer request has also helped in implementing the city culture at its metro projects.  For e.g. Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) has two elevated metro station projects. In Kochi Metro, each station has a particular theme. The theme has been fixed by Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) considering all the local factors and contributions done in different fields either in Kerala or across the country. While the first station was developed keeping the ‘Ayurveda’ theme in mind considering the remarkable contribution of Ayurvedic Medicine towards the history of Kerala and India, the second station’s theme has been decided as a tribute to the country as India will be celebrating its 75th Independence Day in 2022.
