The new system will allow for the booking of <strong>1,25,000 tickets per minute<\/strong>, a massive jump from the current capacity of 25,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scheduled for a full rollout by June 2026, the upgraded PRS is designed to eliminate the influence of touts and illegal ticket-booking bots. By enhancing the software&#8217;s efficiency, the Railways hopes to provide confirmed tickets to every passenger, eventually making the &#8216;waiting list&#8217; system obsolete. The new interface will support multiple languages, making online and counter bookings smoother for commuters across India.
