History

The Gondia–Nagbhir–Nagpur line was opened for traffic in 1908. The Nagbhir–Rajoli line was opened in 1913 and extended up to Chanda Fort.[2]

Work for conversion to broad gauge of the 240 km (149 mi) narrow-gauge Gondia–Chanda Fort line started in December 1992. The conversion was completed and the section re-opened on 2 July 1999.[3] The Gondia–Nagbhir–Balharshah line was electrified in 2018. The doubling of this section is under process. The Nagpur–Nagbhir section is under conversion to broad gauge as of 2019. The electrification of the section is being done simultaneously.[4]
