The Indian Railways sells an average of a million reserved and 16 million unreserved tickets every day. Ticketing revenue is expected to rise from Rs. 15,080 crores in 2005-2006 to Rs. 25,000 crores in 2009-2010.

We are helping the Railways migrate from dumb terminal based centralised ticketing to a modern distributed system. Our embedded ticketing clients operate even in the absence of reliable network connectivity, permitting ticketing in far flung D and E class stations. Please download the UTC Case Study to know more about the UTC product.
