Department of Posts Targets 30% Revenue Growth to ₹17,546 Crore in FY26

As per PTI report, The Department of Posts (DoP) has set an ambitious target to achieve 30% revenue growth in the financial year ending March 31, 2026.  

This goal aims to increase revenue to ₹17,546 crore, as announced by Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia. 

Revenue Growth Strategy 

Following the third quarterly review, Minister Scindia highlighted that 5 out of the 6 verticals within the DoP have shown revenue growth. The exception was International Mail, which remained static due to restrictions imposed by the US government.  

The target for FY26 represents a significant leap from the ₹13,240 crore achieved in FY25, marking a 30% increase in a single fiscal year. 

Comparative Analysis of Revenue Growth 

The revenue for FY24 was recorded at ₹12,800 crore, which saw a modest increase of 3% to ₹13,240 crore in FY25. This growth rate was considered minimal, prompting the department to aim for a more substantial increase in FY26. The minister emphasised the need to elevate the growth rate by 10 times to reach the 30% target. 

Challenges and Opportunities 

While the DoP has shown progress, the challenge remains in transforming from a cost centre to a profit centre within the next 4 to 5 years. The focus will be on enhancing operational efficiency and exploring new revenue streams to meet the ambitious targets set for FY26.
