SUMMARY

R-Wallet is integrated into the SwaRail app which can be used for secure payments for the services available on the platform.

In February 2025, the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) launched the beta version (pre-release version) of its all-in-one railway services app called ‘SwaRail’, developed by the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS). The app is now available for download on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

SwaRail is anticipated to be a ‘super app’, offering all IRCTC services under one roof—from ticket booking to food ordering, it has it all. It is expected to be a significant upgrade from the old IRCTC Rail Connect app.
