The station functions as a wayside halt on the route connecting Ratlam Junction in Madhya Pradesh with Vadodara Junction in Gujarat. The corridor passes through the hilly, predominantly tribal belt of western Madhya Pradesh, and stations such as Bamnia provide rail access to communities in the region that would otherwise rely on road transport over difficult terrain.
Bamnia is situated in the Petlawad tehsil area of Jhabua district, in the western part of Madhya Pradesh close to the borders with Gujarat and Rajasthan. The station serves agricultural and tribal settlements in its catchment, and the surrounding region is part of the Malwa plateau's western fringe.
The Ratlam–Vadodara line on which Bamnia lies is part of the broader rail link between Delhi/Mumbai and the Mumbai–Delhi route via Ratlam. Neighbouring stations on the same section include halts and junctions of the Dahod–Ratlam stretch, with major operational hubs at Ratlam Junction to the east and Dahod to the west.
The station falls under the administrative jurisdiction of the Western Railway zone of Indian Railways, within the Ratlam railway division.
