Indian Railways introduces SwaRail app: What it is? How to use? All you need to know

The Ministry of Railways has launched a new super app, SwaRail, designed to provide various railway services like ticket booking, food ordering on trains, and PNR status checks, all in one place.

Currently in beta version on Android and iOS platforms, the SwaRail super app reduces the need for multiple apps for railway services.

The SwaRail super app, developed by the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS), brings all Indian Railway apps under one umbrella. Through SwaRail, users can book reserved, general, and platform tickets.

Users can access information about parcel and freight transport, check train and PNR status, order food on trains, and even register complaints.

Currently, Indian Railways offers various apps for ticket booking and train information. However, the SwaRail super app provides all services in one place.

Users can access all services with a single username and password, which can also be used for IRCTC Rail Connect and UTS mobile apps.

For security, there's an M-PIN and biometric login facility. Currently in beta on Android and iOS, the official launch will follow a thorough review by the Ministry of Railways.
