Indian Railways to roll out upgraded reservation system from August

New Delhi ( The Indian View team) : Indian Railways is preparing for one of its biggest railway reservation system upgrades in decades. From August, train bookings will gradually move to a new Passenger Reservation System (PRS), replacing the platform that has been in use since 1986.

The move aims to improve train ticket booking, increase system capacity and offer a better experience for passengers. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw reviewed the progress at Rail Bhawan and instructed officials to ensure that passengers face no disruption during the transition.

The current Passenger Reservation System was introduced in 1986 and has received only limited upgrades over the years. The new system has been rebuilt using modern technology and comes with much higher capacity to handle growing demand for online train ticket booking.
