Indian Railways offers fresh meals to its passengers with the assistance of
Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC). IRCTC is actually
a subsidiary venture of Indian Railways to grant a fresh meal service for
its express trains. The luxury and express trains of Indian Railways serve
various dishes owing to the excellent services provided by the IRCTC.
Well-known for changing the way of Railway ticketing, IRCTC has initiated
the online rail ticket booking in India by means of its own website.
Not only online, IRCTC has also come a long way and made booking of Railway
tickets possible through different means like phones, SMS etc. With no
hassles at all, the users of this service obtain their tickets at their
doorstep. To keep the customers at convenience, IRCTC addresses online the
queries regarding accommodation availability, passenger status, train
schedule etc. The Computerized Reservation Services have made the commuters'
life comfortable.
In recent times, IRCTC has instigated a loyalty
programme for the regular users of its services. This programme is known as
'Shubhyatra'. Due to this, IRCTC has also launched online services for
booking of Mumbai Suburban Season Tickets. Within a short duration of
getting online, IRCTC has managed to develop into the largest and the
fastest growing e-commerce website throughout Asia-Pacific. It has also
become the website with maximum number of transactions in this part of the
world.
