Patalpani has been connected to Indore and Khandwa by metre-gauge railway lines. In 2008, the Union Cabinet approved the gauge conversion for the Akola-Ratlam line of 472.64 km. The cost of the gauge conversion would be about Rs.1421.25 crore.[1][2]

It is the nearest railway station used for access to Patalpani waterfall, which is a well-known tourist spot near Indore that is prone to flash floods.[3]

Connectivity

The Patlpani is connected with Dr. Ambedkar Nagar railway station (MHOW) to the north-west and Sanawad to the south-east on the Dr. Ambedkar Nagar–Sanawad meter-gauge rail line.

The station is well-connected to Indore Jn. via Dr. Ambedkar Nagar, Mhow.

Electrification

At present, the station is on non-electrified rail route.

Developments

The conversion of Dr. Ambedkar Nagar railway station (Mhow) to Sanawad (meter-gauge) to (broad-gauge) rail line is in progress.[4] Upon completion, It would directly connect Indore to Mumbai.[5]
