Indian Railways has launched RailOne, a new all-in-one app designed to make train travel easier for millions of passengers. The app brings together ticket bookings, live train tracking, food delivery, customer support, and more in a single platform, replacing the need for multiple separate apps.

To encourage passengers to switch to RailOne, Indian Railways is offering a 3% discount on unreserved tickets booked through the app using digital payments, valid for a limited period from 14 January to 14 July 2026.

Why RailOne Is Better Than Older Apps

Previously, passengers had to use apps like UTSonMobile for unreserved tickets and IRCTC Rail Connect for reserved tickets, which could be confusing. RailOne combines all these features into a single, easy-to-use app, offering:

  • Booking for both reserved and unreserved tickets
  • Live train tracking and journey updates
  • PNR status and coach position
  • Food ordering during travel
  • Customer support and grievance redressal
  • Integrated digital payments and offers

For daily commuters and last-minute travellers, RailOne’s 3% discount can help save a little on every journey, while making train travel simpler and more convenient.
