India Post Reports Record Rs4,009 Crore Q1 Revenue with 22Percent Annual Growth
New Delhi, July 15, 2026 — India Post has recorded its highest-ever first-quarter revenue, earning ₹4,009 crore in Q1 FY 2026–27, marking a 22% year-on-year increase and becoming the first time the organisation has crossed the ₹4,000 crore mark in the first quarter of any financial year.
The achievement was announced following a quarterly business review meeting held on July 14 at Vigyan Bhawan. The performance reflects broad-based growth across all major business verticals and highlights the continued modernisation of the world's largest postal network.
The review meeting was chaired by Union Minister of Communications Jyotiraditya M. Scindia in the presence of Minister of State for Communications Dr. Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani, Secretary (Posts) Subrat Das, Director General Postal Services Jitendra Gupta, and senior postal officials. Both ministers congratulated employees across India Post for their contribution to the strong quarterly performance.
India Post reported growth across all six major business segments. Citizen Centric Services (CCS), including Aadhaar, KYC, and passport-related services, recorded the highest growth at 86%. Parcels, driven by e-commerce, grew 50%, while Mails increased 42%. International Relations and Global Business registered 34% growth despite global challenges. Postal Life Insurance and Rural Postal Life Insurance (PLI/RPLI) grew 20%, and the Post Office Savings Bank (POSB) posted 10% growth.
Among postal circles, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and West Bengal emerged as the top overall performers. West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh recorded notable achievements in Citizen Centric Services, Bihar and Tamil Nadu performed strongly in parcels, while Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, and Jharkhand delivered notable results in Post Office Savings Bank operations.
India Post also reported improvements in operational efficiency. The number of Branch Post Offices recording nil business transactions declined by more than 92% in POSB, 97% in PLI/RPLI, and 99% in Speed Post and Parcels compared with the same quarter last year.
Financial performance also improved, with the Expenditure Coverage Ratio (ECR) increasing from 28% to 32% including pension expenditure, and from 41% to 47% excluding pension, compared with Q1 of the previous financial year. Delhi, Telangana, and Chhattisgarh were among the leading performers in this area.
The department said the Q1 revenue represents 81% of its quarterly target of ₹4,951 crore and provides a strong foundation for achieving its annual revenue target of ₹19,803 crore.
The latest performance builds on FY 2025–26, during which India Post recorded ₹15,296 crore in revenue, representing 16% year-on-year growth. The department said the results are aligned with its ongoing transformation into a technology-enabled, citizen-centric organisation offering logistics, financial services, and digital government services.
Jyotiraditya M. Scindia said that peer learning, cluster-based approaches, and data-driven execution would help sustain the organisation's growth momentum. Dr. Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani said regular reviews, continuous monitoring, and the commitment of employees had contributed to the strong start to the financial year and encouraged continued disciplined performance.
The ministers also acknowledged the contribution of India Post employees across the country, including Gramin Dak Sevaks and postal staff serving in rural and urban areas, for supporting the department's record quarterly performance.
