They can then easily buy their tickets from third-party airlines and websites. The website also empowered travellers to conduct thorough research, compare prices effectively, and make informed bookings for their preferred flights at a cost-efficient rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IXIGO Trains <\/strong>\u2014 In 2013, the IXIGO Trains app was launched for Android to enhance the journey of Indian train travellers. This user-friendly app revolutionised train travel by enabling users to search for train-related information easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ConfirmTkt<\/strong> &#8211; It is another train-focused mobile app that predicts wait lists and helps with booking. It aims to ensure that users get a confirmed ticket.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AbhiBus &#8211; <\/strong>&nbsp;It sells bus tickets by partnering directly with operators or sourcing inventory from bus ticketing aggregators in the country to strengthen its foothold in the bus travel industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hotels \u2014 <\/strong>In December 2023, the company launched a hotel booking section on its website and apps, allowing users to search, compare, and book hotels on platforms in India and worldwide. It offers properties in both domestic and international hotels, spanning budget, mid-range, and luxury price points.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-did-you-know\">Did you know?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>IXIGO\u2019s market share in India in the OTA (Online Travel Industry) rail market was 46.15% in FY 2023 and increased from 46.4% in the first half of FY 2023 to 52.4% in the first half of FY 2024.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Train-amico-2.png\" alt=\"IXIGO Train ticket booking\" class=\"wp-image-4137\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover;width:370px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Train-amico-2-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Train-amico-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Train-amico-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Train-amico-2-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Train-amico-2-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Train-amico-2.png 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-revenue-structure-nbsp-of-ixigo\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Revenue_Structure_of_IXIGO\"><\/span>Revenue Structure&nbsp;of IXIGO<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>IXIGO sells train tickets as a B2C ticketing agent and has partnered with IRCTC since November 2017. The company generates the majority of revenue from train tickets users buy through the platform. This revenue is received via agent service fees and payment gateway charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, IXIGO makes money from ads and by promoting other services like IXIGO Assured Flex, which allows users to cancel train tickets for a small fee and get a full refund before the chart is prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IRCTC charges IXIGO a maintenance fee for each ticket sold, as well as charges for using the enquiry API and promotional activities like showing advertisements, offering cashback, cross-selling, and free cancellation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, IXIGO\u2019s revenue also comes from other bookings like the flight tickets. Flight tickets generate revenue via convenience fees, commission\/net rates, rescheduling charges, cancellation charges, and incentives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Revenue also comes from convenience fees, Abhi Assured fees, and commissions on bus ticket bookings that users book through our platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-did-you-know-0\">Did you Know?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>In July
