For starters, it is cheaper and simpler than a regular Catenary+Contact wire configuration seen on IR's main lines. It is also cheaper to maintain and construct.
The speed is restricted. Normally such lines are good up to 80kmph. But with the mixed track conditions here (freight + passenger), the speed limit could be lower as well. The restriction will be only on electric locos as the diesel locos do not depend on the OHE.
Since the wire contracts and expands with temperature, and...

No freight traffic on BD-AMI line......freights run on BD-NAVI-NRKR route
I believe the short section between Badnera and the bifurcation point of the line to New Amravati was rewired when the Narkher route was getting electrified. Some old videos show the single wire OHE running all the way from Badnera to Amravati.
Even for pure passenger traffic, the speed may be restricted for longer rakes as they require more power from the OHE and consequently, the poor contact at higher speeds causes more problems.

Travel SAFE
1. RailFanning does NOT MEAN dangerous pics/videos.
2. Doorplating pics/youtube videos are strictly FORBIDDEN in IRI.
3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.
REMEMBER: YOUR LIFE is the most precious thing, NOT RailFanning.
