Addressing the media after the meeting, Scindia said India Post has registered tremendous growth during the quarter, with total turnover increasing by 22.2 percent compared to the first quarter of the previous financial year. He stated that turnover rose from Rs 3,280 crore last year to Rs 4,008 crore during the current quarter.

The Communications Minister said India Post had achieved around 20 percent growth last year, with revenue increasing from Rs 13,218 crore to nearly Rs 15,500 crore. He added that the organization has set an ambitious growth target for the current financial year.

Scindia said this marks the first time in the history of India Post that the organization has recorded double-digit growth.

The Quarterly Business Review Meeting focused on modernizing core parcel services and strengthening financial inclusion initiatives. The Minister highlighted that significant growth has also been recorded in citizen-centric postal services, reflecting the department’s expanding role in delivering essential services to people.

During the meeting, a framework was also developed to improve parcel delivery efficiency through strategic partnerships with major e-commerce platforms, including Flipkart and Shiprocket. These initiatives are aimed at strengthening logistics capabilities and enhancing the overall performance of India Post.

The latest performance review underscores India Post’s transformation into a rapidly growing service organization, with increased focus on technology-driven modernization, efficient parcel operations, financial inclusion, and improved citizen services across the country.
