Near future this line shows its importance because as the Nainpur-Samnapur gauge conversion complete, new trains may ply from Jabalpur to Nagpur via Nainpur-Balaghat-Varaseoni-Katangi and Tumsar road. Commercially, Jabalpur to Nagpur via Gondia may produces less income because several trains ply via Bilaspur-Nagpur track but the above mention route directly link the Nagpur or Jabalpur with the above mention cities so more and more passengers are expected to travel from this route. It will be the one of the shortest route towards Nagpur from Balaghat.
