What projects is my government investing in Kochi?
Every tracked government-money announcement directed at Kochi — themes, programs, levels of government, and the largest verifiable amounts.
Summary
Government money is overwhelmingly transport-minded: 145 of 415 announcements naming Kochi focus on it, ahead of urban housing, water and health. Large disaster-relief allocations also sit in the city's funding picture.
WATCH Watch whether transport spending is matched by housing, water and health delivery.
