Earlier in July, Union Minister of Communications and DoNER Jyotiraditya M Scindia set an ambitious growth target of 20 per cent to 30 per cent for the Financial Year 2025-26 across different Circles of India Post, tailored to their potential in specific verticals.
This goal is part of a broader mission to transform India Post into a sustainable profit centre for the Government of India, without compromising its social responsibility, the Ministry of Communications said in an official statement.
The Department of Posts convened its Annual Business Meet 2025-26 in the national capital under the leadership of Scindia.
This strategic gathering brought together Heads of Circles from across the country to deliberate on the roadmap for India Post's business transformation and its evolving role as a premium logistics and citizen-centric service provider.
