The minister stated that 24 hours and 48 hours mail shipment and next-day parcel shipment will begin with January onwards.
“We are going to launch new products with guaranteed delivery of mails and parcels. There will be 24-hour Speed Post service which will ensure delivery of mails within 24 hours. Similarly, there will be a 48-hour Speed Post for delivery within 48 hours,” Scindia stated.
These services will be introduced in January, he included.
