CMD’s Desk
On the occasion of the 21st Foundation Day of IRCTC, I extend my warm greetings and best wishes for the future to all of you. Since our inception on 27th Sept 1999 with a paid-up capital of Rs 20 crs, IRCTC has made significant strides, becoming a trusted platform for railway booking online and train reservation online. In a span of just 20-21 years, our Market Capitalization has surpassed Rs 20,000 Crs—a testament to the dedication of Team IRCTC and the strong foundations laid by our predecessors. This success is reflected in our continued growth and resilience, adapting to challenges such as the transfer of Catering to Railways, the withdrawal of Service charges, and our rapid expansion of online food service in train for the convenience of travellers.
IRCTC has consistently risen to challenges, thanks to the outstanding efforts, hard work, and dedication of each team member. Our vision has always been to simplify travel experiences and provide comprehensive solutions, from railway booking online and train reservation online to railway tour packages that make travelling accessible for all. The introduction of railway tour packages has further diversified our offerings, ensuring IRCTC remains a trusted and reliable service provider.
