Cleartrip, a Flipkart company and one of India’s fastest-growing online travel platforms, today announced the launch of train ticket bookings in partnership with Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), the official ticketing arm of Indian Railways.

Leveraging IRCTC’s strong infrastructure, this integration offers both reliability at scale and a simplified, user-friendly experience. Cleartrip will allow users to search for, book, and manage their train journeys effortlessly within the app, marking a significant step towards becoming a unified, multi-modal travel platform.

With this launch, travellers can access train ticket bookings across routes in India, including General and Tatkal quotas as prescribed by the guidelines of the Ministry of Railways, alongside essential services such as real-time seat availability, fare insights, PNR status tracking, berth preferences, and secure digital payments, all in a single, intuitive interface.

Manjari Singhal, Chief Growth and Business Officer, Cleartrip, said, “Train travel is a critical part of India’s mobility ecosystem, and this launch marks an important step towards realizing our vision of becoming a unified, multi-modal travel platform. With our partnership with IRCTC, we are focused on simplifying the booking experience and making it more accessible to millions of travellers.”

Gaurav Patwari, Chief Business Officer, Air, Cleartrip, said, “With over 800 million reserved passengers travelling by train every year, the opportunity isn’t just about scale; it’s about delivering a differentiated experience. By embedding seamless booking experience, predictive intelligence, and personalization into the platform, we are ensuring that every step, from discovery to post-booking support, is fast, reliable, and stress-free.”

India’s rail network is one of the world’s most complex mobility systems, serving 23 million passengers daily and 7 billion annually, making it one of the world’s largest transportation systems. Cleartrip aims to capitalize on this enormous demand by integrating train bookings into its services. The company plans to extend this offering to its web platform soon, ensuring a seamless cross-platform experience for users.
