Train passengers in India will soon have access to a single platform for multiple railway services with the launch of the SwaRail app.
The Ministry of Railways has introduced this new Super App, developed by the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS), to integrate various services such as ticket booking, PNR status checks, food orders, and complaint management into one interface.Passengers have previously relied on multiple applications for different railway services.
IRCTC Rail Connect was used for reserved tickets, UTS Mobile handled unreserved tickets, and separate apps were required for train inquiries, parcel bookings, and complaints.
The introduction of SwaRail aims to simplify this experience by consolidating these functions into a unified app. Also read: India important market for AI & OpenAI, should be among leaders of AI revolution: CEO Sam Altman The SwaRail app is currently in the beta testing phase and is available for Android and iOS users.
