Indian Railways has finished moving more than 2,200 trains to its upgraded Passenger Reservation System as of October 30, 2026, concluding a rollout that started in August. The change is part of a broader modernization drive that traces the PRS back to its 1986 launch.

Developed by the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS), the new PRS handles booking, changing and cancelling reserved tickets. It brings next-generation e-ticketing infrastructure and an active-active disaster-recovery setup that keeps services running even during outages.

The RailOne app now harnesses AI to predict waiting-list confirmations with 94 % accuracy, up from 53 %. Integrated features mean users can access almost all railway services through a single interface. Roughly 89 % of train ticketing demand is already met online, and the upgrade aims to curb website disruptions at peak times.

For travellers booking via RailOne or IRCTC, this means quicker confirmations and fewer hiccups when traffic spikes.
