Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), a subsidiary of the Indian Railways announced that it has extended the time for e-ticket booking on its portal by 15 minutes - till 11:45pm.
IRCTC said that it had recently imported five new HP Itanium servers from Singapore to speed up e-ticketing operations on its digital platform. Earlier this year, IRCTC had provisioned two Linux servers, substantially raising the booking capacity of e-tickets.
With the introduction of the new system on September 20, IRCTC's main server will be closed for 45 minutes only, IRCTC said in an emailed statement.
Before the introduction of the new timing, passengers were allowed to book tickets through e-ticketing till 11:30pm, following which IRCTC would shut down its main server for an hour every day - from 11:30pm to 12:30am - for maintenance.
