IRCTC ‘super app’ is coming soon: Here’s how it will simplify your entire train travel experience
Indian Railways is gearing up to launch ‘IRCTC Super App’ to streamline travel services for train passengers. This new digital platform is set to unify various railway-related services, such as ticket booking, cargo handling, food ordering, etc., in a single app. This application is expected to make travel-related tasks more convenient for users.
What is IRCTC Super App?
The IRCTC super app is designed to act as an all-in-one platform for train services, consolidating features that were previously popularized across multiple apps. Passengers can use this app to book train tickets, track PNR status, order meals and even plan their entire journey. This integration simplifies the process, allowing users to access all necessary services from a single interface.

How is it different from previous platforms?
Before the launch of IRCTC Super App, passengers had to rely on separate platforms to complete different tasks, such as booking tickets or checking PNR status. While functional, these platforms often lack a unified experience, requiring users to navigate through multiple pages. The new app solves this problem by integrating all the features into one interface, providing a faster and more intuitive experience. Furthermore, the app’s redesigned user interface aims to make navigation simpler and more efficient, improving the overall customer experience.
With the integration of services and improved user interface, the IRCTC Super App is expected to provide a smoother, more convenient experience for train passengers.
