Reviewing Q3 performance, the Union Minister observed that while overall growth trends remain
positive, core verticals—particularly Parcels, Mail and International Mail—have underperformed.
Emphasising that the future growth of India Post depends critically on the strength of its core logistics
engine, the Union Minister stressed that parcels and mail must begin “firing on all cylinders.” Hedirected major circles such as Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Delhi—which together
account for nearly 60 percent of India Post’s potential business volume—to urgently replicate best
practices.
Circle-wise performance was reviewed in detail. Rajasthan emerged as the best-performing circle
overall, achieving 82 percent of Q3 targets. In the Post Office Savings Bank segment, Karnataka
achieved 112 percent of its Q3 target. Citizen Centric Services (CCS) recorded exceptional performance
in Delhi (240 percent), followed by Maharashtra (166 percent) and Rajasthan (165 percent). In Postal
Life Insurance, Uttar Pradesh emerged as the top performer with 129 percent achievement. In mail
operations, Rajasthan achieved 153 percent.
Evaluating the performance of the six verticals, the Union Minister of Communications commended the
exceptional performance of Citizen Centric Services vertical which has shown exceptional growth of
95% over Q3 2024-25. Parcel with 12 % growth, Postal Life Insurance vertical with 11% growth and

ground level.

business through tie-ups with major e-commerce and logistics platforms, including Amazon and
Shiprocket. He also highlighted the expansion of Government-to-Government services, including MoUs
with the Ministry of Agriculture for pesticide verification and the Ministry of Rural Development for
handholding Self Help Groups. On financial inclusion, partnerships with AMFI, BSE and NSE were
strengthened, reinforcing India Post’s role as a trusted last-mile institution, especially in rural and
underserved areas.

next 4–5 years through accelerated revenue growth and efficiency improvements.Highlighting the historical significance of the fourth quarter, the Union Minister noted that Q4 alone
