The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) is implementing a major upgrade to its ticketing system, aiming to eliminate waiting times for online bookings and improve the overall travel experience. The initiative will streamline the booking process and address issues like payment deductions without ticket issuance, while also promoting the ‘One India – One Ticket’ initiative for seamless travel across railway and RRTS services.
The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) is set to significantly improve the train ticket booking process by increasing its ticketing capacity, ensuring quicker and more efficient bookings for passengers. This initiative, aiming to be completed by March 2025, will drastically reduce wait times and prevent issues with failed transactions, making train travel more convenient and accessible for millions of passengers across India.
Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), in collaboration with Indian Railways, has established affordable meal and snack counters near general second class (GS) coaches to cater to the upcoming summer season. This initiative aligns with the organization’s efforts to provide improved services to passengers, particularly those traveling in unreserved coaches. Over 150 meal counters have been set up at 100 stations across India, specifically positioned near GS coaches on platforms. Southern Railway has established exclusive meal counters at 34 stations within its zone, including five in Chennai Division, three in Tiruchchirappalli Division, four in Salem Division, two in Madurai Division, nine in Palakkad Division, and 11 in Thiruvananthapuram Division.
