Travelers on board the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) Tejas Express high-speed train will soon get state-of-the-art NFT train tickets.
During the Holi season – a colorful festival celebrating Hinduism from March 20 to April 2 – passengers on trains 82501 and 82502 can use blockchain-powered ticketing.
IRCTC recently explained the duality of this initiative on X, saying, “These tickets aren’t just digital souvenirs; they are a celebration of the rich cultural tapestry of Lucknow and Delhi.”

IRCTC has partnered with NFTtrace for this integration, which leverages the Hyperledger blockchain and smart contracts to streamline ticketing, improve traceability and increase confidence in the authenticity of tickets.
Consequently, this tech-savvy strategy not only updates ticketing infrastructure, but also delivers unprecedented security and clarity, ensuring a reliable and streamlined experience at an important time for followers of Hinduism.
Considering IRCTC’s significant volume of over 1.2 million bookings per day, the introduction of the railway company NFT ticketing can significantly impact the broader implementation of blockchain technology.
