Minister unveils plan to recast India Post as logistics, digital services powerhouse

Mr Jyotiraditya Scindia, Communications Minister, on October 29, unveiled a transformation plan to recast India Post as a modern logistics and digital services powerhouse, setting a three-year target to make parcels and mail contribute 75% of its total revenue as part of a sweeping rebranding and modernisation drive. He was speaking at India Post’s quarterly performance review. He said that the organisation was entering a phase of monumental change — with new technology systems, product launches, and a revamp of post office infrastructure aimed at turning the world’s largest postal network into a competitive, profit-driven enterprise. India Post achieved Rs 3,324 crore, or 80%, of its second-quarter revenue target of Rs 4,200 crore, despite disruptions caused by natural calamities. The minister lauded Delhi and Telangana circles for outperforming their goals but flagged Kerala and Karnataka, which together accounted for 38% of the national shortfall, for urgent improvement, as per a report.
