IRCTC and NCRTC Launch ‘One India – One Ticket’ for Seamless Travel in Delhi NCR

The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Limited (IRCTC) and the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to improve passenger travel through the ‘One India – One Ticket’ initiative.

This collaboration will allow passengers to book NCRTC QR code-based tickets seamlessly when purchasing online tickets through the IRCTC platform for rail, air, or bus travel. With this new feature, passengers using both Indian Railways and RRTS services can easily book and travel.

The option to book RRTS tickets for up to eight travellers will appear on the PNR confirmation page and will be accessible in the user’s train ticket booking history. A unique QR code will be generated for each RRTS ticket and printed on the Electronic Reservation Slip (ERS). These QR codes will be valid for 4 days, covering the day before, the day of, and 2 days after the RRTS journey date. Each passenger will receive their own RRTS ticket with a dedicated QR code, ensuring a smooth travel experience.

RRTS tickets can be booked up to 120 days in advance, matching the current Railway reservation window. Confirmation and the QR code details will be sent to the registered mobile number and email address via SMS and email.

On this occasion, 𝐒𝐡. 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐣𝐚𝐲 𝐊𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐫 𝐉𝐚𝐢𝐧, 𝐂𝐌𝐃, 𝐈𝐑𝐂𝐓𝐂, and 𝐒𝐡. 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐡 𝐆𝐨𝐞𝐥, 𝐌𝐃, NCRTC, said, “With this collaboration between IRCTC and NCRTC, the travel would be seamless and a lot more easier in the Delhi NCR region.”

Senior officials from both organisations attended the MoU signing event. This significant initiative by IRCTC and NCRTC supports digitalisation and eco-friendly practices while also providing passengers with a more efficient and complete travel experience.
