New Delhi :
Millions of people across the country take advantage of the facilities of Indian Railways. For different facilities of the railway, users have to use different apps. However, now users are going to get rid of this problem soon. Now you will be able to get all the information and services related to the railway on the same app. This super app has been named ‘Swarel’ and currently its beta version has been launched for users. On behalf of the Ministry of Railways, the Center for Railway Information Systems has developed this suit to provide the same platform to all applications of Indian Railways.
Various services of Indian Railways are available on different mobile apps. This superaip adds all applications to the same user interface and provides navigation without any interruption.
These services will be available in the first phase
This app offers booking services for reserved tickets, unreserved tickets and platform tickets in the first phase. Along with this, here you will also be able to get services like inquiries for train travel, PNR inquiry and food order.
The app is designed to provide users easy and uninterrupted access, with special emphasis on increasing both user interface and user experience.
This will benefit through suit
- Single-sign-on: Users will be able to reach all services through single credentials. Apart from this, similar credentials will be used in existing apps of Indian Railways like IRCTC Rail Context, UTS Mobile App etc.
- All-in-one app: In today’s date, different apps are available for reserved and unreserved booking. Apart from this, different apps have to be downloaded to find out the movement of trains and their schedule. In this app all these services will be available through an integrated app.

- Easy onboarding/sign-up: Users are given the facility to use their existing rail connect or UTS app credentials to join the superp. The sign-up process has been simplified to make the user experience better and to make the app easily accessible.
- Ease in login: Many login options have been provided to increase user experience. Once logged in, the app can be accessed through mpin or biometric.
