Indian Railways Begins Phased Upgrade of Passenger Reservation System
Indian Railways is upgrading its Passenger Reservation System (PRS), the computerized platform managing reserved train ticket bookings since 1986. The new system aims to modernize and speed up ticket reservations, supporting online and mobile bookings through platforms like IRCTC. The phased migration began in August 2024, with gradual testing to ensure a smooth transition from the decades-old system. PRS handles booking, cancellations, seat allocation, waitlists, and passenger inquiries across the nationwide railway network.
