Namo Bharat Train: NCRTC and IRCTC have signed an MoU (agreement) to promote the ‘One India-One Ticket’ initiative, which will improve the travel experience for passengers on Indian Railways and Namo Bharat trains. A unique QR code will be generated for each Namo Bharat train ticket, which will be printed on the railway’s electronic reservation slip (ERS). This ticket will be valid for 4 days around the travel date. While booking a train ticket, if any RRTS station is nearby, a popup prompt will also come automatically for Namo Bharat ticket booking.
It has been informed that each passenger will have a dedicated QR code for Namo Bharat train ticket on the train ticket. Namo Bharat tickets can be booked through IRCTC platforms (train, air, bus, chatbot, etc.). Along with this, passengers are being provided with an easy process for ticket cancellation and payment for the ticket. National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) and Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Limited (IRCTC) have signed this agreement to improve the travel experience for the passengers of NaMo Bharat Trains on Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS Corridor through the ‘One India-One Ticket’ initiative.
RRTS is a comfortable passenger service
The Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) project, implemented by NCRTC in the National Capital Region, is a new, high-speed, high-capacity, comfortable passenger service connecting regional hubs in NCR. Currently, the Sahibabad-Modinagar North section is operational and work is underway to connect other cities to Delhi. The agreement aims to provide a seamless travel solution, making it easier for passengers to use both Indian Railways and RRTS services.
RRTS booking option will be displayed on PNR confirmation page
After booking IRCTC train e-tickets, passengers will now be able to book Namo Bharat Train tickets for 8 passengers simultaneously as an add-on service. The RRTS booking option will be displayed on the PNR confirmation page and can also be accessed from the user’s train ticket booking history. A separate QR code will be generated for each RRTS ticket and will be easily printed on the Electronic Reservation Slip (ERS).
The QR codes will be valid for a total period of 4 days
The QR codes will be valid for a total period of 4 days, one day before the RRTS travel date, on the travel date and two days after the travel date. Each passenger on the train ticket will receive his/her own Namo Bharat ticket with a dedicated QR code, ensuring a hassle-free travel experience. All Namo Bharat tickets booked for the same train ticket will be for the same origin and destination station for all passengers. The special thing is that now Namo Bharat tickets can also be booked up to 120 days in advance at the current railway reservation window (ARP). On successful Namo Bharat ticket booking, users will receive confirmation through SMS and email with individual RRTS QR code details sent to the registered mobile number and email address.
The QR code can be scanned at the station entrance
The fare of Namo Bharat train ticket will be collected easily using the online payment methods available on the IRCTC platform along with IRCTC convenience fee (Rs 5 + taxes). In case of ticket cancellation by the user, the entire RRTS fare will be refunded, while IRCTC convenience fee, payment gateway charges and related taxes will not be refunded. Users can easily scan their RRTS QR code at the station entrance using ERS or mobile app to log in and travel as per the booked journey details.
NaMo Bharat Train tickets can be booked through multiple modes
NaMo Bharat Train tickets can be booked through IRCTC platform (train, air, bus, chatbot, etc.). After booking a train ticket, if a nearby RRTS station exists, a popup will prompt the user to book an RRTS ticket. If the user does not book a ticket initially, he/she can revisit the booking history and click on “Book RRTS Ticket” later. Even without purchasing a rail ticket, passengers can book NaMo Bharat Train tickets for their daily use from the IRCTC platform, which will be valid for the same day’s travel.
Considering promoting tourism in Delhi NCR region
NCRTC is also considering introducing one day to three day unlimited travel passes to promote tourism in Delhi NCR region. This landmark initiative of NCRTC and IRCTC not only promotes digitalization and eco-friendly practices but also ensures an efficient and comprehensive travel experience for all passengers.
