What is the story about?
The Indian Railways has announced that the UTS Mobile App will be discontinued from March 1, 2026, making way for the RailOne App as the sole authorised platform for booking unreserved tickets. This move aims to enhance digital adoption and streamline ticket booking processes.
To promote usage, the Railways will offer a 3% discount on ticket bookings made through the RailOne app beginning January 14. The UTS app is being phased out, and the 'season ticket' option has already been eliminated.
As per the CPRO Shashikant Tripathi, theRailOne app will provide all railway facilities, including both unreserved and reserved tickets.
According to the Railway Board, Southern Railway has achieved 29.5% of unreserved ticket bookings through mobile applications, placing it among the best-performing zones.
The board has advised Southern Railway to enhance its efforts and reach a target of 40% mobile-based unreserved ticket bookings via theRailOne App by March 1, 2026. This demands focused measures such as passenger awareness campaigns and ongoing monitoring to increase RailOne platform usage.
"All the Divisions have demonstrated commendable progress in enhancing mobile-based unreserved ticket bookings, with Southern Railway already positioned among the best-performing zones. It is encouraging to note this collective effort, and the Railway Board has urged that the momentum be sustained with renewed focus," read a statement.
Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw launched RailOne in July 2025 on the 40th Foundation Day of Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS). The all-in-one application is available for download on the Android Play Store and iOS App Store.
It offers a range of features, including unreserved ticket booking, live train tracking, e-catering, and grievance redressal.
