Indian railways trains, stations and services are rapidly transforming. India's old, rusty, gargantuan organisation dating back to the colonial times is turning slick and efficient. The latest is the revamp of the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) website.

Railway's online travel portal, www.irctc.co.in, has now launched beta version of its new user interface which has more user-friendly features and offers easier navigation.

Indian Railways says that e-ticketing constitutes about two-third of total reserved tickets and it was important to update the website to make it faster and more user-friendly. The new website is still in beta and the final roll-out will happen at a later date.


If you open the IRCTC website, you will be welcomed by the old page with a red icon ‘Try New Version of Website’ on top left. If you click on it, you will be redirected to the beta version of the new website. It is still in its trial phase for 15 days and Indian Railways will be accepting suggestions for changes and improvement. Here are some of the new features of the new IRCTC website.
