Kochi DOOH · MG Road · Edappally · Vyttila · June 2026
Kerala's commercial and financial capital and its largest urban area, home to more than 2.3 million people across the backwaters. Blindspot maps its screens to the metro stations, mall junctions and ferry hubs that carry the city, matched to how it moves.
Kochi billboard and DOOH (digital out-of-home) costs span from a few cents per play on urban panels to premium MG Road, Marine Drive and landmark networks. On Blindspot, Kochi screens are booked by the hour and priced per play, entry plays start around $0.30, with no contracts or minimums.
The smart Kochi play isn't one screen for a month. It's the right screens at the right hours: the arteries at commute peak, the malls through the afternoon, the nightlife and tourist cores after dark.

From a highway bulletin to a single mall screen, Blindspot puts Kochi's digital out-of-home and classic OOH formats on one map, each priced per play and bookable by the hour. The formats that matter here:
Large-format LED on highways, bridges and boulevards, motion, dayparting and dynamic triggers.
Pedestrian-scale panels and citylights in high-footfall retail and downtown corridors.
Highway and arterial bulletins built for commuter frequency on the busiest routes.
High-intent shoppers from midday to evening across the city's retail destinations.

Landmark and spectacular placements for brand statements in the city's signature locations.
Location insights
Kochi moves on water as much as on wheels. It is a city of islands and backwaters, so the daily commute splits between the overhead metro, the ferries of the Water Metro and the buses grinding along NH66. Ernakulam on the mainland holds the offices and the retail on MG Road, while Fort Kochi across the harbour keeps the fishing nets, the cafes and the tourists. Vyttila ties it together, where metro, ferry and Kerala's biggest bus terminal all meet.
Edappally and the main arteries surge 7:30–10 AM and 5–8 PM. Book exactly those hours and your frequency climbs for the same budget.
Marine Drive and the city's malls hold heavy footfall from noon to evening, long windows where dwell and shopping intent, not rush, do the work.
MG Road shifts from daytime to social and tourism after dark. Different audience, same screens, swap the creative, not the location.
Location intelligence summary
Kochi doesn't have one rush hour; it has rotating audiences sharing the same streets. The only buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the windows when your audience owns the city, skip the ones when it doesn't.
| Objective | Book these zones | Best hours |
|---|---|---|
| Brand launch | MG Road + Edappally | 6–11 PM |
| Commuter frequency | Vyttila, Edappally | 7:30–10 AM · 5–8 PM |
| Retail foot traffic | Marine Drive, MG Road | 12–8 PM |
| B2B / decision-makers | Kaloor / Kadavanthra, Edappally | Weekdays 9 AM–6 PM |
| Tourism & events | MG Road, Fort Kochi | 10 AM–8 PM |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Kochi’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.
Morning commuters read in 2 seconds; evening crowds dwell for minutes. Run different creative by hour on the same screens, even trigger swaps on weather or live data.

No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen
Four things move the price on any Kochi screen: the format (pricing runs higher on transit screens than on MG Road retail digital), the zone (MG Road carries the highest footfall premium), the daypart (peak commute and evening hours price above the overnight lull), and how far in advance you book, since the busiest zones and formats sell out first.
What a campaign costs
Because you pay per play and schedule by the hour, your budget buys the exposure you actually need, not filler plays, so it works as hard on a big campaign as on a small one, with no minimum. Here's what budgets realistically buy. Live numbers per screen are in the platform.
Commute test
A week of morning and evening bursts at Vyttila and along MG Road.
Multi-zone push
