Coach Factory's inability to manufacture enough new MEMU coaches to replace older models. Kerala has only 12 MEMU trains, with 8 out of service for repairs weekly. Compared to other regions, Kerala has the fewest operational MEMU trains, with only 10 fully operational. The MEMU service between Kannur and Mangaluru, spanning 132 km, is currently not operational. Currently, there are 12 rakes (coaches) for five trains with 8 coaches for the remaining five. A three-phase MEMU rake can carry approximately 3,600 passengers, including both seated and standing.

travel kar payenge. Currently, Kerala mein 12 MEMU trains hain, aur inme se 8 trains har hafte repair ke liye out of service hoti hain. Yeh problem isliye hai kyunki Integral Coach Factory, jo ki old models ko replace karne ke liye new MEMU coaches banata hai, woh kaafi new coaches nahi ban paa raha hai. Kerala mein, other regions ke muqabale mein, MEMU trains ki kami hai. Sirf 10 MEMU trains hi fully operational hain. Kannur aur Mangaluru ke beech 132 km ka MEMU service bhi band hai. Currently, 5 trains ke liye 12 rakes (coaches) hain, aur baki 5 trains ke liye 8 coaches hain. Ek three-phase MEMU rake mein, 3,600 passengers baith sakte hain, jo ki seated aur standing dono hain.
