In a historic achievement for Indian Railways, an astonishing 31,814 tickets were reserved within just one minute on May 22, 2025. This remarkable feat not only establishes a new national record but also highlights the robustness of its enhanced e-ticketing system, as stated by the government in an official announcement.
This milestone follows a significant digital transformation designed to reduce unauthorized bookings driven by bots and improve accessibility for legitimate users.
Fueled by AI-driven bot prevention and collaboration with a leading Content Delivery Network (CDN), the updated system has greatly reduced the unfair booking practices that once affected the high-demand Tatkal window.
Bot traffic, which frequently accounts for almost 50% of login attempts during peak periods, has now been successfully mitigated, providing genuine users a more equitable opportunity to obtain tickets.
