The RailOne app is a unified super app launched in July 2025 to bring all railway services onto one platform. Since March 1, 2026, it has replaced the UTS mobile app for all unreserved, season, and platform ticket bookings. The app integrates services like IRCTC, NTES, and RailMadad, and it uses AI to predict waitlist confirmations with nearly 94% accuracy. As of May 8, 2026, the app has seen over 3.5 crore downloads.
