Indian Railways has launched its first internal Android-based mobile app called ‘Punctuality BZA’ to keep a close watch on train timings and delays. Developed in-house by the Vijayawada Division of South Coast Railway (SCoR), this app aims to move monitoring away from desktop systems to mobile devices. The launch took place between June 27 and June 29, 2026.
What are the key features of the Punctuality BZA app?
The app provides a single user-friendly dashboard for all operational data. It replaces the old ICMS web portal, removing the need for frequent OTP logins and navigating multiple screens. Key technical details include:
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Automatic Alerts | System notifies if a train is delayed by more than 15 minutes |
| Monitoring Tools | Includes Late Train Monitoring (LTM) and Punctuality Assessment Module (PAM) |
| Tracking | Section-wise train status and identification of lost trains |

Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Mohit Sonakia stated that this tool helps field staff work more effectively, allowing them to focus on safety and passenger services. Public Relations Officer (PRO) Nusrat M. Mandrupkar added that officials and controllers can now monitor train movements from anywhere. This shift from desktop-based systems leads to faster decision-making and better overall operational efficiency.
