# Kerala adds Kanjikode coach factory land to AIIMS list 2026-08-09T08:57:32+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Kerala will add the 228 acres of land originally acquired for the Railway Coach Factory at Kanjikode in Palakkad to the list of proposed sites for the state's AIIMS. The Centre cancelled the coach factory project, and the land, already with the Railways, can be transferred directly to the Health Ministry without fresh acquisition, says Mathrubhumi. The state had earlier submitted 10 other locations. Separately, the 61.34-hectare Kinaloor-Kanthalad land in Kozhikode, valued at around Rs 20.32 crore, was handed over to the Medical Education department in September 2024 and is being offered free of cost. ## Coverage - english.mathrubhumi.com Tags: AIIMS, health infrastructure, Kanjikode, Kerala, land acquisition, Railway Coach Factory Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/kerala-adds-kanjikode-coach-factory-land-to-aiims-list/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
