The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), a Navratna company under the Ministry of Railways, was established on September 27, 1999.
Today marks its 26th anniversary.
To celebrate this milestone, IRCTC has announced a special partnership with IndiGo airline to offer discounts on flight bookings.
Exclusive 3-Day Discount Offer
IRCTC has introduced an “Exclusive 3-Day Promotional Discount Offer” for its customers. Under this offer:
Customers can get up to 15% discount on both domestic and international flight bookings.
The offer is valid only for bookings made between September 26 and 28, 2025.
Tickets must be booked through IRCTC’s air ticketing platform (air.irctc.co.in) or its mobile app, IRCTC Air.
The discount applies only on IndiGo flights.
Travel Dates:
Tickets booked under this promotion must have travel dates between October 2, 2025, and March 31, 2026.
IRCTC Chairman Sanjay Kumar Jain said, “This promotional offer is a way for us to give back to our customers and make their travel dreams a reality.”
Festive Season Boost for Travel
This promotion coincides with the start of the festive season in India:
Navratri has begun, and Durga Puja is being celebrated in West Bengal and Bihar.
The festive season usually runs from October to February, a period when travel bookings rise sharply.
People often plan vacations, including flights, train tickets, and hotel stays.
Airlines and hospitality businesses offer discounts during this high-demand period, and IRCTC’s move aligns with this trend.
