Murtajapur railway station is the junction station of the 762mm narrow gauge railway known locally as the Shakuntala Express. This line is composed of two legs intersecting with the Howrah-Nagpur-Mumbai line at Murtajapur — the 76 km northern leg to Achalpur railway station and the 113 km southeastern leg to Yavatmal railway station.[4] As of 2004 this line was still owned by a London-based company which had leased the line to India's Central Railway since 1903.[5]
Murtijapur has a post office with PIN code 444107. The PIN code is shared with other post offices in the tehsil viz Murtijapur City, Anbhora, Bhatori, Ghota, Ghunshi, Hirpur, Kherda, Vilegaon, Kinkhed, Kajaleshwar, Kanadi, Kanzara, Lakhpuri, Mangrul Kambe, Nimbha, Sirso, Wai Mana, Palsoda, Sonori.[6]
Murtijapur has schools from pre-primary to graduation in arts, science, and commerce. Still, there is a scope for colleges to provide education in engineering and medicine. Good education facility is available in the city through different marathi, hindi and english medium schools.
The town has primary healthcare centres run by the State Government and a few privately run clinics. The town still lacks good healthcare services. There is Govt. Hospital name Smt. Laxmibai Deshmukh Govt Hospital which has many facilities and it is sub district hospital.
Agriculture is the prime profession. Few small industries like oil mills and cotton pressing factories can be seen in MIDC. Despite having good connectivity to the major cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad and Nagpur, one can see the lack of growth in this old town. Usually, people go to nearby cities like Akola, Paratwada and Amravati for shopping, medical facilities and purchase of automobiles.
