This will help in connecting villages of Chhindwara, Narsinghpur and Sagar districts and help in the development of Satpura, Mahakaushal and Bundelkhand area respectively as a whole. This will provide and alternative north–south route via Lalitpur–Sagar–Narsinghpur–Chhindwara–Nagpur route alternative to Bina–Bhopal–Itarsi–Amla–Betul–Nagpur route thereby decreasing the distance between north and south by nearly 300 km. Kareli railway station will serve as an alternative to Itarsi Junction. This railway line will help in connecting Itarsi–Narsinghpur–Jabalpur–Katni stretch and Itarsi–Bhopal–Bina–Saugor–Katni stretch of West Central Railways. Recently CCEA also sanctioned Gadarwara-Indore new rail line via Budni. These two rail lines in combination will reduce the distance of the state's financial capital Indore from District like Jabalpur, Narsinghpur, Hoshangabad, Sagar, Chhindwara which will help in industrial and economic development of these regions"[10]
