Accurate Train Timing at Your Fingertips
One of the biggest worries for train travellers is whether the train will arrive on time. Schedules often change due to weather, maintenance, or traffic on the route. With RailMitra, you can check the real-time train timing of any Indian train by entering the train number or name.
Whether your train is running on time, early, or delayed, RailMitra gives you the most updated information powered by NTES (National Train Enquiry System). This means no more unnecessary early arrivals at the station or missed trains due to miscommunication.
Stay Ahead with Platform Information
Ever reached a crowded station only to find out your trains platform has changed? It happens often, especially at major junctions like Howrah, Delhi, or Mumbai. RailMitra makes it easier by showing the expected platform number for many important trains and stations.
This feature is a lifesaver when youre short on time, travelling with elderly passengers, or carrying luggage. It helps you head straight to the right spot without running around the station.

Train delays are part and parcel of Indian Railways. But now, you dont have to wait at the platform cluelessly. With RailMitras live train running status, you can track where your train currently is, how late (or early) its running, and when its expected to arrive at your station.
