Indian Railways: 89% of train tickets booked online

Indian Railways has seen a big change in how people buy train tickets.

Now, 89% of tickets are booked online, while only 11% are bought at the counter.

This happened over the last year, from June 2025 to June 2026.

The Railway Minister, Ashwini Vaishnaw, said this change happened because of new rules for online booking.

Out of all the tickets sold, 57.90 crore were booked online, and 7.18 crore were bought at the counter.

Some people like online booking because it's easy and saves time.

Others prefer counter booking because it helps people who aren't good with technology or don't have internet access.
