Online travel platform Cleartrip, a Flipkart company, has announced the launch of train ticket bookings in partnership with Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), the official ticketing arm of Indian Railways.
Leveraging IRCTC's strong infrastructure, this integration offers a user-friendly experience and reliability at scale.
Cleartrip will allow users to search for, book and manage their train journeys within the app, marking a step towards becoming a unified, multi-modal travel platform.
With this launch, travellers can access train ticket bookings across routes in India, including General and Tatkal quotas as prescribed by the guidelines of the Ministry of Railways, alongside essential services such as real-time seat availability, fare insights, PNR status tracking, berth preferences, and secure digital payments.
Commenting on the launch, Manjari Singhal, Chief Growth and Business Officer, Cleartrip said, “Train travel is a critical part of India’s mobility ecosystem, and this launch marks an important step towards realising our vision of becoming a unified, multi-modal travel platform. With our partnership with IRCTC, we are focused on simplifying the booking experience and making it more accessible to millions of travellers.”
Gaurav Patwari, Chief Business Officer, Air, Cleartrip added, "With over 800 million reserved passengers travelling by train every year, the opportunity isn’t just about scale; it's about delivering a differentiated experience. By embedding seamless booking experience, predictive intelligence, and personalization into the platform, we are ensuring that every step, from discovery to post-booking support, is fast, reliable and stress-free.”
