'''Bina-Etawa''', often shortened as '''Bina''', is a city and a sub-district in the [[sagar district]] in the Indian state of [[Madhya Pradesh]]. Bina is also a [[Tehsil]] of Bina-Etawa district. The city is an important center of economic and industrial activities for the state; for instance, a [[Bina Etawa#Industry and economics|major oil refinery]] operated by [[Bharat Oman Refinery Limited]] is located in Bina.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=Bharat Oman Refineries Limited|url=https://borl.in/|url-status=live|website=Bharat Oman Refineries Limited}}</ref> This region is famous for its high quality wheat, and is an important agricultural processing center{{Citation needed|date=April 2021}}. Bina also contains an important railway junction. The routes from Delhi-Mumbai, Lucknow-Chennai, and Katni-Kota pass through Bina Railway Junction.

Bina is situated near may sites of cultural and historical interest, which include[[Bhopal]] (the capital of Madhya Pradesh), [[Vidisha]], [[Sanchi]], [[Chanderi]], [[Malhargarh]] and [[Rahatgarh]] (famous for its waterfall).

Bina Etawa is famous for its proximity to the ancient city of [[Eran]], which was situated nearby along the bank of the Bina River. [[Eran]] was the capital of Airikina Pradesha or Airkina Vishaya, an administrative division of the [[Gupta empire]]. It is among the oldest cities found in the region.{{Citation needed|date=April 2021}}

==History==

Bina was formerly known as Etawa, the name of the village earlier present in the area. In 1923, the Bina Railway Junction was founded, with its name derived from the Bina River that flows nearby. The new name was chosen to remove any ambiguity between Itawa (located in Uttar Pradesh) and Etawa. Later, administrative documents began using the name Bina-Etawa, which led to the renaming of the city as Bina-Etawa.

Located near the city, the Khimlasa Fort is a location of significant historical interest. Khimlasa Fort is said to have been founded by a Mohammedan noble, and was the mahal in the sarkar of [[Raisen]] of the subah of [[Malwa]].{{Clarify|reason=Terms "mahal", "sarkar" are not defined.|date=April 2021}} The town of Khimlasa is enclosed within a fortified wall built of stone rubble.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sagar.nic.in/places.htm |title=Archived copy |access-date=2013-11-04 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130114222831/http://sagar.nic.in/places.htm |archive-date=14 January 2013 |df=dmy }}</ref>

[[File:BinaRefinery.jpg|thumb|Bina Refinery]]
[[Bharat Oman Refinery Limited]] owns a major oil refinery near Bina, "the only petroleum refinery in Central India [with a capacity of] 7.8 MMTPA."<ref name=":0" /> Bina Refinery has adopted technologies designed to process Arab Mix crude (65% Arab Light and 35% Arab Heavy). It also had the flexibility to process other types of Middle East crude. The project also includes a Coke-based Captive Cogeneration Power Plant of 99 MW (33 x 3).<ref>[http://www.borl.in/]</ref>

A section of the power plant currently operates with a capacity of 500 MW, although this will scale up to 1200 MW when the plant reaches full capacity. The construction of a cement manufacturing plant has been proposed by the JAYPEE group in Bina.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jalindia.com/thermalpower.htm |title=Archived copy |access-date=2013-11-04 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131125223730/http://www.jalindia.com/thermalpower.htm |archive-date=25 November 2013 |df=dmy }}</ref> A 1200kV National Test Station is also located in Bina.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.powergridindia.com/_layouts/PowerGrid/User/ContentPage.aspx?Id=76 |title=Archived copy |access-date=4 November 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130515145935/http://www.powergridindia.com/_layouts/PowerGrid/User/ContentPage.aspx?Id=76 |archive-date=15 May 2013 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

The regional government of Madhya Pradesh plans to build an investment corridor between Bina and Bhopal, naming it the Bina-Bhopal Investment Corridor.

Along with it, integrated township projects were also proposed near the city.<ref>[http://www.investmp.com/a-corridors.html]{{dead link|date=November 2016|bot=InternetArchiveBot|fix-attempted=yes}}</ref> Bina's first solar power plant, which will be used for operating railway trains and also in the lightning system for Bina junction, was also established in 2020.
