The Department of Posts held its Annual Business Review Meeting for FY 2025–26 in New Delhi, chaired by Union Minister Jyotiraditya M. Scindia. The meeting brought together senior officials to assess performance and outline plans for FY 2026–27.

The Minister announced that India Post recorded a 16% increase in revenue, reaching ₹15,296 crore, up from ₹13,218 crore the previous year. He described the year as “historic,” noting both strong financial results and ongoing structural transformation. The Department achieved 88% of its ₹17,546 crore target, with most postal circles performing in the 80–90% range and several exceeding 90%.

While acknowledging overall progress, the Minister emphasized that Parcels, Mail, and International Business need stronger focus to unlock their full potential. He stressed that these segments must become key revenue drivers as India Post evolves into a modern, customer-centric logistics and service organization.

Performance Highlights:

• Citizen-Centric Services: Fastest-growing segment (70% growth), led by Delhi Circle
• Parcels: 69% growth, with Rajasthan Circle as top performer
• Mail Operations: 34% growth, led by Assam Circle
• PLI/RPLI (Insurance): 30% growth, led by Andhra Pradesh
• Post Office Savings Bank: 13% growth, led by Bihar

Rajasthan Circle emerged as the best overall performer, exceeding its revenue target and setting a benchmark.

The Minister credited the postal workforce for these achievements and linked the progress to the broader vision of Narendra Modi, highlighting India Post’s transformation into a future-ready organization.

Key Strategic Directions:

• Strengthen revenue growth while maintaining cost discipline
• Improve performance of mid- and low-performing circles
• Focus on core business areas: parcels, mail, and international services
• Restructure operations around key verticals (Parcel, HR, Finance, Business Development)
• Adopt a more sales-driven and customer-focused approach
• Integrate mail and parcel operations for efficiency

Looking ahead, the Minister called for scaling high-growth segments like citizen services, expanding parcel and mail business, increasing insurance and savings penetration, and revitalizing international operations.

He concluded with confidence that, with focused execution, India Post can achieve even stronger growth in the coming year.
