Speaking on the major reason for buying IRCTC shares, Anil Singhvi said, "IRCTC has almost monopoly business in internet railway ticket booking. It covers around 92 per cent of the online Indian Railways e-ticket booking business and that reflects about the kind of business it would be getting. Apart from online Train Ticket booking business it has received higher advertisement revenue as well. Its advertisement revenue margins have gone up from 6 per cent to near 10 per cent, which is praiseworthy in such a challenging time."
