Could you build this?

Partial While a mobile client displaying Indian Railways data is straightforward, reliably scraping or accessing IRCTC/CRIS live reservation charts and seat status involves circumventing strict anti-bot protections, captchas, or acquiring official B2B API access.

What it would actually take: The architecture would consist of a Flutter or React Native mobile client backed by a serverless scraping or API aggregation cluster. The hardest part is consistently extracting real-time berth chart data from IRCTC's internal endpoints, which require handling dynamic sessions, IP rotation, and bot mitigation. A production system requires specialized web scraping infrastructure and reverse engineering of government railway APIs.
