This news is important for passengers traveling by train. Railways is going to launch a new facility for passengers in the coming days. With this, people will get many important facilities including ticket booking to train tracking.
According to the information, Indian Railways is planning to launch its All in One Super App by the end of December or January 2025, which will provide a single platform for passenger services. This app will prove helpful in booking tickets, purchasing platform passes, and monitoring train schedules. This app is being developed by the Center for Railway Information System and will be linked with the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation.
This super app of Indian Railways is expected to be launched by the end of December 2024 or January 2025. This app developed by CRIS will be integrated by IRCTC so that passengers can get all the services in a single app. This app will be integrated with IRCTC by CRIS so that passengers can get all the services in one app. So far IRCTC is the most downloaded app among passengers. More than 10 crore people have downloaded it. It is the only option for booking reserved train tickets.
According to an official, IRCTC considers this super app as a new way to increase its income. While having a monopoly in ticketing, IRCTC is improving its technology so that passengers can get advanced services. IRCTC considers this super app as a new opportunity to increase its income. In the financial year 2023-24, IRCTC's net profit was ₹ 1,111.26 crore, out of which 30.33 percent of the income was from ticket booking.
Airline tickets can also be purchased through the IRCTC app and food can also be ordered on the train. Apart from this, there are many other facilities in this app. After the new app of Indian Railways comes, IRCTC will continue as the interface of CRIS with the passengers. Its facilities will continue to work as before. This app will combine the facilities of many existing apps and websites, such as ticket booking, train status check, platform ticket food service, etc. Currently, passengers use apps like IRCTC Rail Connect, IRCTC e-catering food on track, Rail Madad, UTS, and National Train Inquiry System, which will be included in this new super app.
All these works will be done on the railway's super
Passenger and freight customers will get a one-stop solution on the IRCTC Super App.
On opening the IRCTC Super App, customers will see two options. Passenger and freight, you can choose the option according to your needs.
Passengers will get the service of reserved ticket booking, unreserved ticket booking, tour package booking, religious train booking, flight booking, and cab and hotel booking.
Apart from this, booking of e-catering, retiring room and executive lounge can also be done through the super app.
Freight customers can book bulk items, book parcels, register for any type of freight across the country, and avail services on the super app.
Trouble of common passengers will be reduced.
Indian Railways is trying to reduce the trouble of common people by bringing a new app, but the real problem was caused by the lack of trains. A large number of people travel from one state to another for work and return home during festivals. During this time there is a shortage of trains. Even a large number of special trains are not enough for the passengers. It is clear from this that the railways need to run trains by laying additional lines.
