InfotechLead.com, a prominent IT news website targeting IT decisions makers and CIOs at enterprises, government, SMBs and start-ups, today announced InfotechLead Award 2017.
IRCTC was selected as InfotechLead Award 2017 e-Governance Project.
IRCTC controls all the digital ticketing operations of Indian Railways. IT development team at IRCTC is selecting the right platform to ensure that customers are not facing downtime during heavy ticket-booking time.
IRCTC sold 209 million tickets via online platform in fiscal 2017, registering an increase of 5 percent from 199 million tickets sold in the previous fiscal. ICRTC’s payment gateway could collect Rs 24,485 crore in fiscal 2017 by selling 209 million tickets.
Investment in partnerships and technology is supporting IRCTC to stay ahead of competition. Launch of Pay on Delivery was an innovative step from IRCTC. The option would allow the user to pay at the time of delivery through any payment mode including cash. The service is available in more than 600 cities/towns covering more than 4000 pin codes.
