NTES is the backend system which provides information to the public about train running on near real time basis through various interfaces like nationwide unique rail enquiry number 139, website (Trainenquiry.com), mobile interfaces, Touch Screens, face to face enquiry and Display Boards at stations.

The NTES app is now available for download and public use. As the first step the App has been started for Windows 8.0 and subsequently the app will be developed for other mobile platforms.

A new interface of NTES website along with Mobile version was launched in September 2013 earlier which received wide appreciation by the travelling public and has been quite useful in meeting the requirements of passengers.

A strong need was felt for launching the mobile app with richer user interface keeping in view the current technology trends and which can be downloaded on the device and comfortably made use for train running related enquiries.
