ITI Limited has collaborated with the Kerala Government to roll out Kerala Savaari 2.0, an upgraded multi-modal digital ride-hailing platform integrating metro, water metro, buses, cabs, and autorickshaws. The initiative aims to enhance mobility, ensure fair pricing, and support drivers through commission-free bookings.
ITI Limited, a premier public sector IT company, has formally partnered with the Kerala Government to launch Kerala Savaari 2.0, a digitally advanced ride-hailing application designed to transform public transportation within Kerala.
Launched on November 4, 2025, by Labour Minister V. Sivankutty at Thiruvananthapuram, the upgraded Kerala Savaari platform currently operates smoothly in Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi. Plans are underway to expand citywide and across other districts, evolving into a fully unified multi-modal transport system integrating metro services, Water Metro, feeder buses, autorickshaws, and cabs under one digital roof.
Kerala Savaari 2.0 features government-fixed fare structures, eliminating commissions for drivers and replacing them with nominal subscription fees, ensuring fair earnings and affordability for passengers. This model supports driver welfare and promotes equitable urban mobility.
The project reflects Kerala's commitment to digital public transport innovation and inclusive urban development. ITI Limited’s technology expertise amplifies the platform’s reliability, scalability, and user-friendliness.
