Kareli is a town and a nagar palika in Narsinghpur district in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. Before the construction of the Bina-Katni branch of the Indian Midland Railway, the metalled road from Saugor crossing the Nerbudda at Barmhan brought the bulk of the produce of the Saugor District to Kareli station. A mail cart ran from Kareli to Saugor, a distance of 75 miles. The trade of Kareli has now considerably declined, but it is still the exporting station for the southern parts of the Rehli tahsil of Saugor and the north of Narsinghpur. Kareli was formerly a municipality but its municipal constitution was abolished in 1897, and the provisions of the Village Sanitation Act were introduced.A cotton-ginning factory, the property of Rajã Gokul Das, was opened in 1904.This still is a nearest rail station and market for important towns of Sagar Districts.^[1]
