This corridor passes through the ranges of Chhota Udaipur Hills in Gujarat and Sondwara Plateau in Madhya Pradesh. It will play an important role in directly connecting Vadodara and Indore and also it's a joint project of Indore–Dahod line. It will put Dhar first time on the railway line. This was demanded over decades by the residents of Nimar region as well as Central Gujarat.

It's also an important tourism destination by rail after connecting with Alirajpur and Dhar. Where Alirajpur is famous for wood carvings and mango farms, Dhar is famous for historical tourist destinations.
