- By June’s end, IRCTC will require e-Aadhaar authentication for all Tatkal bookings and impose a three-day waiting period on newly registered, unverified accounts.
- The AI-powered anti-bot system has reduced bot login attempts from nearly half to a minimal level and increased Tatkal booking success from 43.1% to 62.2%.
- A new CDN partnership now delivers 87% of static site content externally, enhancing speed and server resilience during peak booking hours.
- Daily new IRCTC registrations have fallen from about 60,000–65,000 to roughly 10,000–12,000, reflecting the crackdown on disposable emails and fraud.
