Kochi Water Metro intends to generate revenue through carbon credits from emission-reducing technologies. Currently operating 20 battery-operated boats, the initiative has already reduced carbon emissions significantly.

The project is initiating a tender process to select a consultant for carbon credit acquisition. The metro aims to achieve a 100% solar energy sourcing target and anticipates cutting CO₂ emissions by 22,800 metric tonnes annually by 2026, with projections rising to 45,000 metric tonnes by 2035.
