IRCTC News & Updates

IRCTC should be forced to list out the approved brands of each product they supply on trains. Since on travelling with rajdhani or shatabdi you will get rail neer, bisleri, iceling, mount kailash and many more such brands. And only 4 brands have been approved but only god knows which brands are they.

“We are discussing with existing firms in the e-commerce space to thrash out the details. This will help us monetise our registered user base of over two crore,” IRCTC Managing Director R.K. Tandon told Business Line. “Even now, our system capacity is free during the large part of the day, barring peak hours. And now that we will invest in further upgrading the IT infrastructure, we would like to increase asset utilisation to earn more revenue on the same costs,” he added. The Railway Ministry’s arm, which may also start selling furnishings and electronics, will make sure that its online shopping plans do not affect online ticketing traffic, Tandon said.

Major facepalm moment this is. Don't know what they have been smoking.

Weed. They're smoking weed.
Imagine,I order an headset with them. Package doesn't reach me in stipulated time. Then I call them and I''ll be redirected to another guy. Then that guy is on leave and would come back on monday. Crap!

 

[Navjot Singh]

Probably.
Even worse. The delivery guy before handing over your item: "Sir/Mam, can you please show me your aadhar card? Then only I will be able to hand over your item." :nonchalance:

How about Tatkal seva (you get product before expected delivery time layful: ) offered between 7-11am and server shows Request Timeout/Page not Found.

Tried it just now. And it has actually sped up. Took me just under a minute to find the train, check its availability and proceed to the booking page. :scared:

YES! Take the credit away from the babus and tech people who actually worked hard for this! Rahul Gandhi did this!
