New Delhi, Jan 22

India Post has set an ambitious revenue target of Rs 17,546 crore for the financial year 2025-26, significantly higher than the previous year, Union Minister for Communications and Development of North-Eastern Region Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Thursday.

Chairing the Quarterly Business Review (QBR) meeting for the third quarter of FY26 here, Scindia said the organisation is steadily moving towards becoming a parcel- and logistics-driven institution to meet the growing needs of e-commerce and citizen-centric services.

During the meeting, senior officers and Heads of Circles from across the country reviewed the performance of India Post across its key business verticals.

"India Post has already earned Rs 10,155 crore in the first three quarters of FY26, putting it on a strong path to achieve its annual target," Scindia said.

"This progress reflects a strategic shift towards logistics, integrated supply chains and improved service delivery," he stated.

"While overall growth remains positive, core verticals such as Parcels, Mail and International Mail have not performed up to expectations," the minister noted while reviewing the Q3 performance.

He stressed that the future growth of India Post depends on strengthening these core services and said parcels and mail must start performing at full capacity.

He asked major circles like Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Delhi, which together account for nearly 60 per cent of India Post's business potential, to quickly adopt best practices.

Circle-wise performance showed mixed results. Rajasthan emerged as the best-performing circle overall, achieving 82 per cent of its Q3 targets.

Karnataka performed strongly in the Post Office Savings Bank segment, achieving 112 per cent of its target.

Citizen Centric Services saw exceptional growth, with Delhi recording 240 per cent achievement, followed by Maharashtra at 166 per cent and Rajasthan at 165 per cent.

Uttar Pradesh topped the Postal Life Insurance segment with 129 per cent achievement, while Rajasthan performed strongly in mail operations with 153 per cent.

Looking ahead, Scindia called for strong peer learning, with underperforming circles adopting successful models from Punjab, Delhi, Rajasthan and Telangana.

He stressed the need for clear accountability, measurable outcomes and zero tolerance for non-performance, while ensuring balanced contributions from all circles.

Ambitious targets are good, but I hope this push for revenue doesn't come at the cost of service quality for ordinary citizens. My local post office still takes ages for a simple money order. They need to fix the basics first.

The focus on e-commerce logistics is smart. With online shopping growing so fast in India, India Post can be a game-changer for last-mile delivery in villages. Hope they upgrade their tracking systems though, it's very unreliable currently.

Interesting to see the state-wise breakdown. Karnataka doing well in savings bank and Delhi in citizen services makes sense. But the major circles like Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu need to pull their weight if they account for 60% of potential.

As someone from a small town, India Post is still a lifeline. Their banking and insurance services are crucial where private banks haven't reached. Happy to see UP leading in Postal Life Insurance. More awareness is needed in rural areas about these schemes.

"Zero tolerance for non-performance" sounds good on paper. But the challenge is the vast difference in infrastructure and challenges between circles. A one-size-fits-all target may not be fair. Hope the peer learning model works.
