More than 93 per cent of the tickets are booked through IRCTC. 

IRCTC has also introduced a new service. At the time of booking customers have the option to book tickets for sleeper class, 3rd AC, 2nd AC and 1st AC. This new service is 2S under which the unreserved coaches have been put. The booking services are provided for sitting facility under it. IRCTC is expected to benefit from this too. 30 per cent booking which is happening now is for 2S, he said.  

The company has also increased the capacity of its water services. Earlier it used to account for 40 per cent of the total demand and going forward, it will meet over 85 per cent of the total demand of the Indian Railways. 

He said that the water business of IRCTC is very big. So, the company will have a monopoly in not only ticket booking but also in water services.
