Ajmer Rail Workshop: Rajasthan’s first DEMU-MEMU shed ready to speed up train repairs
Indian Railways has established Rajasthan’s first DEMU-MEMU mega shed at the Ajmer Rail Workshop. This high-tech facility is designed to make Ajmer a central hub for the repair and maintenance of diesel and electric multiple unit trains. The project was completed with an investment of ₹41 crore to improve the efficiency of train maintenance.
What are the key benefits of the new Ajmer shed?
The new facility significantly reduces the time required for train repairs. Previously, it took 12 days to repair a train rake, but with the new high-tech setup, this process will now be completed in just 8 days. The shed has the capacity to maintain 106 train rakes every year, ensuring more trains remain operational for passengers.

The mega shed is equipped with 12 specialized technical wings to handle different components of the train. These include dedicated sections for transformers, alternators, bogies, and brake systems. A team of over 50 skilled employees will manage these high-tech repairs to ensure safety and quality.
