RailOne App to be Sole Platform for Unreserved Tickets; UTS Phased Out by 2026

• UTS Mobile App will be discontinued from March 1, 2026, making RailOne the only authorized app for unreserved ticket booking.
• Indian Railways will offer a 3% discount on RailOne app bookings starting January 14 to promote its usage.
• RailOne, launched by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw in July 2025, offers unreserved/reserved tickets, live train tracking, e-catering, and grievance redressal.
• Southern Railway, a top performer with 29.5% mobile bookings, is tasked to reach 40% via RailOne by March 1, 2026.
• The 'season ticket' option has already been eliminated from the UTS app.

Why It Matters: Indian Railways transitions to RailOne as the exclusive app for unreserved tickets, phasing out UTS by 2026.
