many to rely on trains for travel. The decision to convert passenger trains to MEMUs was announced by the Thiruvananthapuram division in 2019.

MEMUs feature traction motors at both ends, eliminating the need for engine changes during return journeys.

iska reason hai national highway ka banne ka kaam. Log traffic jams se bachne ke liye train ka istemal kar rahe hain.

Thiruvananthapuram division ka ek alag MEMU shed, Kollam mein, badhaaya ja raha hai, jisse MEMU trains ki jaanch aur maintenance ki ja sake. Is shed ko badhaane ka contract railway ko mil gaya hai. Palakkad division ke Olavakkode MEMU yard mein bhi renovation ka kaam chal raha hai. MEMUs mein dono taraf traction motors hote hain, is wajah se return journey mein engine change karne ki zaroorat nahi padti. Unki jaldi se rukne aur tez chalne ki ability unhe Kerala mein zyada rush wali main line ke liye perfect banati hai. Ye Mumbai ki suburban train system ki tarah hai.
