The Department of Posts is setting ambitious revenue goals, aiming for a 30% increase to Rs 17,546 crore by March 2026, announced Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Thursday.
Following a quarterly review, Scindia revealed that growth in five out of six verticals was observed, though International Mail revenue stagnated due to US-imposed restrictions.
Scindia articulated a vision to transform the department from a cost center into a profit entity within the next 4-5 years, overcoming previous modest growth rates.
