IRCTC’s SwaRail App: From train ticket booking to PNR enquiries, here’s what all you can do

IRCTC SwaRail App: Months after silently introducing SwaRail app, the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has now made the mobile app available for download on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Developed by the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS), the app is also referred to as ‘SuperApp’ as it promises to offer almost all services by IRCTC under one user interface. This is being touted as the most modern App by IRCTC and is also a major upgrade over the ageing IRCTC Rail Connect App. While the app is available for download, it is important to note that it’s currently in beta.

“This app integrates various services offered by Indian Railways, which are currently available on separate mobile apps, into a single user interface, ensuring seamless navigation,” the Ministry of Railways had said.
