SwaRail App Launched: IRCTC'S one-stop solution for all your railway travel needs
In a bid to make railway travel more convenient, the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation ( IRCTC ) has launched a new mobile application called SwaRail. The app is available for both Android and iOS users. It will offer services like ticket booking, live train tracking, food ordering and complaint management. The app is developed by the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS). SwaRail is currently in early access, with full features already live and more enhancements on the way. Let's have a quick look at the features of the app: SwaRail is designed to be more than just a ticket booking tool. It's a comprehensive travel assistant for railway passengers across India. The app allows users to: Book Reserved, Unreserved, and Platform tickets Track live train status and train delays View PNR status and coach positions Order food from partner vendors during journeys Submit refund requests for canceled or missed trains Raise complaints or give feedback through the Rail Madad feature This wide range of services eliminates the need for multiple railway-related apps and provides a unified platform for better travel planning. Early Access, Full Functionality Even though SwaRail is currently in its early access phase, it delivers a fully functional experience. Existing IRCTC users can simply log in with their current credentials, while new users can register directly through the app. The platform supports multiple Indian languages, making it accessible to passengers from diverse regions. The app includes a 'My Account' section, allowing users to edit personal details, check booking history, and manage preferences. A key highlight is the built-in R-Wallet, a digital wallet for quick and secure payments within the app. This simplifies transactions for bookings, food orders, and other in-app services. How to Book a Ticket on SwaRail Download and log in using your IRCTC account (or register as a new user). Navigate to the 'Journey Planner', where you can choose between Reserved, Unreserved, or Platform tickets. Enter travel details such as departure and arrival stations, date, class, and quota.

Payments can be made through R-Wallet, UPI, debit/credit cards, or net banking, with the app clearly displaying any applicable convenience fees.

With a clean interface, easy navigation, and a wide range of practical tools, the app is positioned to become a go-to travel companion for millions of Indian railway users.
