India Post revenue rises 16% to Rs15,296 crore in FY26

The Department of Posts recorded a 16 per cent rise in revenue to Rs15,296 crore in FY 2025–26, reflecting its ongoing transition into a revenue-driven organisation, the Ministry of Communications said on Monday. The performance was reviewed during the Annual Business Review Meeting chaired by Union Minister for Communications and Development of North Eastern Region Jyotiraditya M. Scindia in New Delhi on Monday. 
According to the Ministry, revenue increased from Rs13,218 crore in FY 2024–25, marking the first time in several years that growth has crossed the 15 per cent mark. The Minister undertook a comprehensive review of performance across six key business verticals—Parcels, Mail, International Mail, Post Office Savings Bank (POSB), Postal Life Insurance (PLI/RPLI), and Citizen Centric Services (CCS).
The Parcels segment emerged as a key growth driver, with revenue rising from Rs669 crore to Rs1,133 crore, registering a 69 per cent increase. Mail revenues also saw strong growth, increasing by 34 per cent to Rs3,202 crore. Citizen Centric Services recorded a 70 per cent rise to Rs864 crore, while POSB grew steadily by 13 per cent to Rs7,756 crore. Revenues from Postal Life Insurance and Rural Postal Life Insurance increased by 25 per cent to Rs1,458 crore. The Ministry noted that the International Mail and Global Business segment faced temporary challenges due to global economic volatility.
The Minister highlighted that the introduction of new premium services—24 Speed Post, 24 Speed Post Parcel, and 48 Speed Post—has begun to strengthen India Post’s logistics capabilities and meet evolving delivery demands. Eight circles achieved over 90 per cent of their targets, while 14 recorded performance between 80 and 90 per cent. Rajasthan, Assam, and Bihar & Chhattisgarh circles were recognised for their strong performance.
Scindia emphasised that logistics, particularly parcel services, will be the key growth engine for India Post going forward, along with efforts to revitalise traditional mail services. He also highlighted the Department’s expanding partnerships with e-commerce and logistics players, as well as its growing role in Government-to-Citizen and Government-to-Government services.
