Indian railways to launch super app by December 2024

Indian Railways is revolutionizing the travel experience with the launch of its highly anticipated super app by the end of December 2024. The new app will be distinct from the existing IRCTC platform, and will aim to integrate multiple services under one roof. The app is designed to make travel more convenient and efficient for millions of passengers across the country. The forthcoming super app will act as a comprehensive digital companion for railway travelers.

Here’s a look at the key features that will be available -

Ticket Booking Made Effortless: Passengers will be able to book train tickets seamlessly without switching between different apps or platforms. The streamlined booking process will cover everything from checking seat availability to choosing preferred classes and applying for concessions. The app aims to reduce the hassle currently associated with train reservations and improve the user experience.

Platform Passes for Easy Access: For the first time, Indian Railways will allow passengers to generate platform passes directly through the super app. The digital passes can be purchased instantly and will be verified electronically at the station gates.

Food Delivery Services Onboard: This feature ensures that passengers can enjoy fresh and high-quality meals delivered right to their seats. Travellers can browse menus, place orders, and track delivery status, making onboard dining more enjoyable and reliable.

Real-Time Train Running Status: This feature will provide accurate and up-to-the-minute updates on train locations, estimated arrival times, and potential delays. The feature will also offer notifications and alerts, ensuring passengers stay informed throughout their journey.
