Indian Railways (IR / भा. रे.), भारतीय रेल website: indianrail.gov.in is used for passenger services like pnr status checking, train arrival/ departure, e-ticketing, seat availability, train between stations, and train timetable. It is crafted by ministry of railways.

The official website updates users about zonal railways and about parcel services, freight services, and what railway is doing in fields of education, research, heritage, and recruitment.
Honorable minister of railways, Mr. Suresh Prabhu has set up high level railway restructuring committee for mobilisation of resources for major railway projects. This committee will formulate many policies and appropriate frameworks to raise railway resources to meet the demands of the future. Whatever they do can be tracked on IndianRailway.Gov.In the users. Summary of Railway Budget is also featured with key announcements like new trains, new railway routes, conversion from meter gauge to broad gauge, extension of trains, electrification of routes, and any hike or lowering in passenger fare and freight.
While it is important to the users of railway, the website is extremely useful for employees of railways itself. All the latest news and headlines of railway, training circulars, railway codes and manuals, promotion and posting orders, can be accessed by IR personnel anytime.

If you are interested in querying something about railway, you can use RTI (Right To Information). The status of your railway enquiry will be shown on the Indian Railway website.
Lastly, if you are a historian or someone interested in evolution of railway in India, or a statistician who is interested in statistical summary of indian railways you can download the report having info about assets, rolling stocks, total route, electrified running track, traffic volume, fuel consumed by locomotives, and operating revenue and expenditure of railway for the current year.
