History

MEMU sheds in Kollam and Palakkad were proposed in 2008's Indian Railway Budget. The first announced MEMU shed for Kerala was actually in Kollam, but the inauguration of this shed had been delayed for more than 2 years due to the clearance issues and negligence of Indian Railways.[2] Palakkad MEMU shed inaugurated on 1 January 2011.[3] Kollam MEMU shed was formally commissioned on 1 December 2013, five years after its completion.[4] Kollam MEMU Shed is the largest MEMU Shed in Kerala, which is equipped with most modern facilities.
