The Southern Railway currently has six divisions, and Coimbatore is divided across three of them. The proposed division restructuring would bring the 15 km stretch from Podanur to Kinathukkadavu under the Salem division, aligning it with the rest of the Coimbatore-Dindigul main line. The demand also includes a call for improved train maintenance facilities in Coimbatore, given its significant revenue contribution. This is vital for introducing new train services. Additionally, the restoration of overnight train services to Bengaluru, Thoothukudi, Rameswaram, Sengottai, and Madurai is being requested.

Rail enthusiasts and industry stakeholders believe that addressing these issues would see Coimbatore generate ₹600 crores annually, benefiting both passengers and the Railways.
