Indian Railways app SwaRail: On Friday, the Ministry of Railways in India introduced a new superapp called SwaRail, designed to simplify and streamline railway services. This app combines a wide range of public-facing features—everything from booking reserved tickets to ordering food on trains—all in one place. Currently in its beta phase, SwaRail is available for both Android and iOS users, with the goal of reducing app clutter and the need for multiple railway-related apps on your phone.
SwaRail Superapp: What You Can Expect
Developed by the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS), SwaRail brings together various Indian Railways services into a single unified platform. This includes booking reserved, unreserved, and platform tickets, tracking parcel and freight deliveries, checking train and PNR status, ordering meals on trains, and even getting in touch with the 'Rail Madad' service for any complaints or queries. According to the Ministry of Railways, this all-in-one approach is aimed at increasing convenience for railway passengers.

While Indian Railways already offers several different apps for specific tasks—such as ticket bookings, train schedules, and status inquiries—SwaRail eliminates the need for multiple downloads. Now, all of these services can be accessed through one app. The app also displays more comprehensive information, like showing train-related details along with your PNR status.
Key Features of SwaRail:
Single Sign-On: With SwaRail, users can log in with a single set of credentials, which will also work for other Indian Railways apps like IRCTC RailConnect and UTS Mobile App. This makes accessing different services much easier.
Multiple Login Options: For added convenience, the app supports various authentication methods, including m-PIN and biometric login.
Comprehensive Ticketing & Tracking: Book tickets, track trains, get PNR status updates, and more, all in one place. The app makes it simple to check everything from ticket bookings to train movements.
Beta Version and Future Updates
Currently in the testing phase, SwaRail is available for download on Android and iOS platforms. Users are encouraged to share their feedback to help improve the app before it gets a full public release. After the beta evaluation process is complete, the Ministry of Railways will roll out the app for wider use.
By consolidating multiple railway services into one app, SwaRail aims to make traveling by train in India a more efficient and user-friendly experience. If you’re someone who frequently uses railway services, this new app promises to be a game-changer in terms of convenience and accessibility.
