Live Train Status

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check live train status?

Enter a train number or name on this page and tap Track Live. You'll see the train's current station, delay in minutes, and station-by-station progress for Indian Railways.

What does live train running status show?

Live status shows where the train is right now, how late or early it is, the next station, and actual vs scheduled arrival and departure times at each halt.

Do I need a PNR number to track a train?

No. Live train status only needs the train number or name. Use PNR status when you want confirmation, coach, and berth details for a booked ticket.

How accurate is live train status on Train Dekho?

Live status is based on Indian Railways / NTES running information and updates through the journey. Brief gaps can happen when the feed is delayed. For the planned timetable, open the train's schedule page.

Can I get alerts when my train is delayed or approaching?

Yes, in the Train Dekho Android app. Turn on live status alerts to get a push notification for delays and when the train is approaching your station.

How is live status different from a train schedule?

A schedule is the planned timetable — stations, arrival and departure times, and running days. Live status is where the train is now, including delay and actual timings at stations already crossed.
