The station is situated near the banks of Periyar river. It was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi on 17 June and opened for public on 19 June 2017 as a part of the first stretch of the metro system, between Aluva and Palarivattom.[2]
The Aluva Metro station is a submission to the Periyar river. Along with the pictures of the rivers, the structure of the station is designed to indicate the river water flame.[3]
