FYI the website is not developed and maintained by Indian Railways. It's outsourced to an IT services provider. As far as I recall, TCS, which is an IT Major, currently has the contract. All the Indian Railways needs to do is have a couple of competent people, who can supervise the project to ensure quality.


I don't know if TCS still have contract but this company is http://www.broadvision.com/en/customers_aeroxchange.php part of it. When I tried to get PNR status, I once got this error,

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No bean found for attribute key historyDetails and rest of the stack trace. From stacktrace, they are using struts and broadvision's some customized servlet container, most likely tomcat.


Whoa, what? Which website? Everything in indianrail.gov.in and indianrailways.gov.in is developed by CRIS. The ticket booking in irctc.co.in is developed with IRCTC itself on top of a BroadVision product. IRCTC links with the PRS of CRIS.

TCS is not at all related to IRCTC online ticketing operations.

Whoa, the huge amount of misinformation in this item's comments is staggering.
