Indian Railways plans to significantly enhance ticket booking for passengers through a series of upgrades and improvements. As part of the initiative, work is underway on upgrading the Passenger Reservation System (PRS), expected to be completed by June.
The latest system upgrade will dramatically increase passenger online ticket booking capacity from 32,000 tickets per minute to up to 150,000 tickets per minute. This enhancement comes as a resounding relief for passengers who often struggle with the current slow-reservation system and face difficulties booking confirmed tickets during peak travel hours.
With multilingual support and new features like fare calendars and seat selections, the enhanced PRS will ensure smoother online ticket booking experiences. Additionally, the system's security features will provide a more reliable option for Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) website and mobile app users to purchase their tickets conveniently.
By June, passengers can expect an optimized system that minimizes common issues such as slow speed, server downtime, or payment process failures. This improvement will significantly increase the likelihood of obtaining confirmed tickets and provide users with more flexibility in selecting seats according to their preferences.
