Future developments at Kochuveli terminal

Kochuveli, the satellite terminal of Thiruvananthapuram, is also poised for growth, with the present six platforms and a total of ten once fully developed. The coach care centre, which is undergoing construction, is yet to be completed. Construction of a sickline complex and two pit lines is in progress.
