Indian Railways Sets Record With 22.26 Lakh Daily Bookings

Indian Railways uses a system called the Passenger Reservation System to reserve train seats.

On September 7, 2026, this system booked more tickets in one day than ever before.

It handled 22.26 lakh tickets, which is more than 22 lakh tickets.

This was the first time daily bookings crossed 22 lakh.

The system is used for long-distance and other reserved train services.

It helps manage many passenger reservations.

The Centre for Railway Information Systems developed it.

It began in 1986 and replaced the older manual booking process.

Over time, it added online and mobile booking support.
