Now, ixigo Partners With Uber To Enable Train Ticket Booking Via Its App

ixigo, a prominent online travel aggregator, has recently entered into a partnership with ride-hailing giant Uber to enable train ticket booking through Uber's app. This collaboration, launched on August 18, allows users to book train tickets, check PNR status, and book cabs to and from railway stations within the Uber app, eliminating the need to switch between applications.

The service is powered by ixigo's train-booking technology and post-booking services. This partnership marks the second such arrangement between the two platforms, with the first being a collaboration on bus ticketing through ixigo's Abhibus in March. For ixigo, this partnership bolsters its offtake and increases its customer base, with train ticketing being its biggest business line.

The OTA's train booking revenue grew by 9% YoY to ₹141 Cr in Q1 FY27, while its profit increased by 29% to ₹52.7 Cr. CEO Alok Bajpai highlighted the company's diversified platform growth and its profitable scaled businesses, as well as its expanding presence in the hotel booking segment and investments in its online food delivery business and Singapore subsidiary.
