The Kali Sindh is a perennial stream in the Chambal drainage of the Yamuna Basin of the greater Ganges Basin. It typically reaches flood stage during the monsoon season of India. In its lower reaches it forms an alluvial plain. Bauxite deposits are found along the Kali Sindh in Kota district at Baselio, Majola, and Sherol-khera.[3]
The total length of the Kali Sindh river is 550 kilometers, of which 405 kilometers are in Madhya Pradesh and 145 kilometers in Rajasthan.
It crosses State Highway No 18 east of Indore near Sonkatch where it used to block the road traffic for hours when in flood in older times.[4] It crosses Shajapur district. Then it makes the boundary between Shajapur and Rajgarh districts near Soyatkalan and enters Rajasthan near Binda village. It passes through Baran, Jhalawar and Kota districts of Rajasthan and joins the Chambal River at Nonera village in Kota district. The Kali Sindh is fed by the Ahu, Niwaj and Parwan Rivers.
