IRCTC website to soon support booking 7,200 e-tickets per minute
Posted on 04:09 by Maria Scott
Indian Railways' IRCTC website gets a
massive number of hits every day. However, IRCTC is flooded with
complaints with regards to slow loading/crashing of the site and failure
to complete ticket booking procedures. It is often criticised for its
incapability of handling huge web traffic.
However, IRCTC is now looking to address
these complaints, as it reveals plans to boost the site to book 7,200
e-tickets per minute. In a presentation on upgrading the IRCTC
website, IRCTC Managing Director R K Tandon said the upgrade would cost
about Rs. 100 crore. CRIS, the technical arm of railways, will also be
participating in the upgrading of the IRCTC website.
The official says the upgrading site is a
continuous process and that an average booking per day has been
increased from 3.67 lakh in 2012 to 4.15 lakh now.
Currently, the site is capable of
handling 1.2 lakh concurrent connections on web servers and can book
about 2000 tickets per minute.
It's notable 37 percent of 31 crore
reserve tickets being booked in a year are booked online and 8 percent
through ticketing agents. Ex-Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal had
announced in his Rail Budget 2013-14 plans to increase IRCTC capacity to
7200 tickets per minute as well as improving the site's efficiency.
