Ripples Advisory, Not just IRCTC app, Indian Railways now has an app for almost every service it offers

The IRCTC app, Rail Saarthi, Indian Railways PNR and National Train Enquiry system are some of the popular, passenger-focused railway apps available on Google Play


The Indian Railways seems to be in love with mobile apps and vice-versa—a trend that seems to have picked up in the last four-five years.

As a result, in a short span, the Google Play app store has seen more than 250 mobile applications offering a range of railway services. Of these, close to 50 mobile applications have been developed by the national carrier and the rest by individuals and private companies.

More than 200 mobile apps have been launched by individuals and companies, including start-ups, by harvesting Railways’ data. These applications are available for both Android and iOS phones.

The development of such user solutions has reached a point where the Indian Railways has a mobile application for almost every passenger-specific service it provides—from booking tickets (IRCTC) to cleaning coaches (Saarthi) to ordering food (Menu on Rail) in trains to booking services such as parcels (Railways Parcel).

Besides, there are apps such as National Train Enquiry System (NTES), and those that concern in-house processes like train crew management and employees’ service record.

The latest app is ‘utsonmobile’ (UTS on Mobile), launched on 13 June to enable booking and cancellation of unreserved tickets, issue and renewal of seasonal and platform tickets and checking and loading of funds into R-wallet balance.
