Free Wi-Fi at railway stations soon! Here's how to access the service

Indian Railways is all set to provide free wi-fi at all railway stations except the halt stations. This move does not involve any extra expenditure on Indian Railways' accounts, said Minister of State of Railways Shri Rajen Gohain in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha on Wednesday.

Last year, Railway Telecommunication Company RailTel partnered Google Inc to provide free Wi-Fi at the stations.

Altogether 707 stations have been provided with Wi-Fi facility till date even as the target for 2018-19 was to provide connectivity to 500 stations.

All the leading stations are connected through the network provided by RailTel. The widely-covered network serves more than 1.5 million people at a time.
