The Ministry of Railways has introduced the SuperApp ‘SwaRail’ today, a one-stop solution offering comprehensive railway services to the public. Currently in beta testing, the app is available for download on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. A key focus of the App is enhancing user experience with a seamless and clean user interface (UI). It integrates various railway services, eliminating the need for multiple applications and reducing space consumption on user devices.
Developed by the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) the SuperApp integrates all public-facing applications of Indian Railways into a single platform. The App caters to a wide range of user needs, including:
- Reserved Ticket Bookings
- Unreserved Ticket and Platform Ticket Bookings
- Parcel and Freight Enquiries
- Train and PNR Status Enquiries
- Food Orders on Trains
- Rail Madad for Complaint Management
The SuperApp of Indian Railways is slated to be released to the public shortly. This app integrates various services offered by Indian Railways, which are currently available on separate mobile apps, into a single user interface, ensuring seamless navigation.
Unique Features of the SuperApp
- Single Sign-On – Users will be able to access all services using a single set of credentials. Moreover, the same credentials will be used across existing Indian Railways apps like IRCTC RailConnect, UTS Mobile App, etc.
- All-in-One App – Currently, different apps are available for reserved and unreserved booking. Additionally, a separate app is required to check train movement and schedules. All these services will now be accessible through a unified app.
- Integrated Services – Services are being integrated to deliver comprehensive information from multiple sources in a cohesive and unified manner. For example, PNR enquiry will also display associated train information.
- Easy Onboarding/Sign-Up – Users can onboard the SuperApp using their existing RailConnect or UTS App credentials. The sign-up process has been simplified to enhance the user experience and make the app easily accessible.
- Ease of Login – Multiple login options have been provided to improve user experience. Once logged in, the app can be subsequently accessed using either an m-PIN or biometric authentication.
Focus on User Feedback
The Ministry of Railway invites users to experience the SuperApp during this Beta phase and provide valuable feedback for its improvement. This initiative is a significant step toward leveraging technology to enhance convenience for railway users. The SuperApp provides smarter, simpler, and more efficient access to Indian Railways services. The SuperApp Beta testing phase is being closely monitored by the CRIS team to ensure timely resolution of user feedback and suggestions. After a thorough evaluation, the Ministry will plan the App’s mass launch.
