As part of efforts to increase its interface with passengers, Railways have decided to redesign its website, which receives about 1.5 crore hits per day.
Railways said the purpose behind the exercise is to “inform, inspire, invigorate” as the PSU behemoth is the principal driver of tourism and travel in India.
“We have already invited web designers to recast and redesign the website and hope the job will be taken up soon,” said a Railway official.

Railways claim that their website is the second most searched in the country.
The final presentation is due to take place on March 30.
The move comes close on the heels of Railways stepping up its efforts to overhaul its 139 passenger information service.

Inviting web designers, Railways have also noted the redesign is being done due to advances that have been made in technology, both in terms of use, search engine optimization and the influence of social networking sites across the world.
