Indian railways has launched its IRCTC next generation website. This website is an advanced platform to book online rail tickets. This website can perform 72,00 tickets per minute. Train reservation has become more efficient after this website. Catering to the increasing demand for train tickets in India, Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has upgraded its website for booking additional four lakh e-tickets daily. 

Earlier, the ticketing site was capable to handle about 1.2 lakh simultaneous connections on web servers and can book aprox 2000 tickets per minute.

"We have improved the web site structure with high capacity servers to book more tickets. Previously our ability was to book about 1200 tickets per minute but currently it has been improved to 7200 tickets per minute and it will be further increased to 10000," said a senior IRCTC official.

He said with the constant advancement, an average booking per day has been increased from 3.67 lakh in 2012 to 4.15 lakh now.

Ex- Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal had announced in his Rail Budget 2013-14 that the booking capability will be improved to 7200 tickets per minute with the expansion of next generation software for the e-ticketing site.

In general there is a massive load on the website at 10 AM, when booking of Tatkal tickets opens. The reservation of ticket varies from time to time based on events and vacations. Railways have invested about Rs. 100 crore to improve the ticketing website to meet the increasing demand of e-tickets. But a lot of of passengers are still confused with this new interface and facing problems in registering, login, booking, canceling rail tickets.  The CRIS has introduced an all new user interface for online bookings. This interface is quite user friendly but still some of us need assistance to work with this new site.


We have developed this tutorial site for new users on IRCTC website. You will find a all solutions about your train ticket booking. We have so many Frequently asked questions and an open forum to let people share their experience about Indian Rail Corporation Limited online reservation system.
