I need guidance on removing front wheel of my Merida cx400. I could not find any allen key or quick release provision. Could you anyone please help me with tool set for the same.

Hi, welcome to bicycles. If you can't add a photo, you should at least add a link to your bike (model and year) on the manufacturer website so that people can look up the specs for it.– DavidWMar 17, 2021 at 18:13

Looking at the specs on Merida Website you have Fulchee through axles, FH1200 and FH1700.
Looking at these on the Fulchee website (for the front FH1200 at least) I see that the lever for releasing the thru-axle is integrated and needs to be pulled out for use, termed a hidden lever design apparently. You'll see a slotted piece instead of a hex key fitting, you need to pull this slotted piece out and it is the lever you need to use to unthread the thru-axle.
Unusual!

2I bet my 5$ that the follow up photo/question will show that the lever is broken ...– EarlGreyMar 17, 2021 at 16:12
