The Department of Posts, Mail Operations Division, has issued a fresh update regarding the implementation of Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) initiatives under the Mail & Parcel Optimization Project (MPOP). This update is important for postal staff and circles involved in the pilot rollout, and it is a good addition to anyone tracking India Post latest news, India Post notifications, and India Post circulars.
Key Details of the Order
- Memo No: Mails-3/2024-D
- Issued By: Department of Posts, Mail Operations Division, Dak Bhawan, New Delhi
- Dated: 27.07.2026
- Addressed To: Chief PMsG of Assam, Delhi, Gujarat, J&K, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh & West Bengal Circle
- Subject: Implementation of BPR initiatives at NSH, PH, Office of Exchange, Transit Mails Office, etc. at 12 pilot cities under MPOP
Background of the Update
This order refers back to an earlier Postal Directorate letter dated 14.07.2026, which had rolled out pilots of 26 BPR initiatives, including a BPR initiative related to continuous sorting, across 12 pilot cities.
What Has Changed Now
- A number of references were received from field units regarding issues faced while implementing the BPR initiative related to continuous sorting.
- After examining the matter, it has been decided to keep the implementation of this specific BPR initiative in abeyance till further instructions.
- Revised instructions and a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the continuous sorting initiative will be shared in due course.
- This decision has been issued with the approval of the competent authority.
Why This Matters
This update shows how the Department of Posts is actively monitoring the rollout of new mail processing reforms under MPOP. Continuous sorting was one of the 26 BPR initiatives being piloted at key mail handling points like NSH (National Sorting Hub), PH (Parcel Hub), Office of Exchange, and Transit Mails Office. Pausing this specific initiative reflects a practical, field-feedback-driven approach, rather than forcing implementation without proper groundwork.
