 Rules, Rights & Rites -17 Rationalization of Mail Processing Hubs under the Mail and Parcel Optimization Project (MPOP).
 
 
I usually post all important items related to official rulings, union news, and other general matters on my YouTube channels: Yourskayveeyes (English) and Anbudan Kayveeyes (Tamil).
However, due to the recent spate of orders and the high volume of information being received, I have not been able to convert every item into a video. Therefore, I am introducing these new slots to post current matters and updates that have not yet been published on YouTube. This ensures you stay informed on every detail, even if a video hasn't been made yet …………….Kayveeyes
 
 
 
Rationalization of Mail Processing Hubs under the Mail and Parcel Optimization Project (MPOP).

• Following the analysis of mail profiles and a meeting with DPS-level officers on October 15, 2025, it has been decided to downgrade 20 National Sorting Hubs (NSHs) into Intra-Circle Hubs (ICHs), with the detailed list provided in Annexure-A.

• The decision on downgrading the remaining NSHs and the merger of ICHs will be analyzed and decided in consultation with the Circles in the next phase.

• The downgrading of these NSHs will come into force from November 15, 2025, after further discussion with the Circles on October 30, 2025.

• The primary rationale behind optimizing/downgrading National Sorting Hubs (NSHs) is as follows:

• Bulk Mail Handling: Approximately 85% of Speed Post Mail is contributed by bulk customers. The 58 major bulk booking centers, which handle 60-70% of mail, will continue to send direct bags to all NSHs across the country even after the downgrading.

• 80-90% of mail originates from 10-12 major cities^.  NSHs in these major cities will be permitted to close direct bags to the downgraded NSHs (now ICHs).

• Direct Bagging for Volume: For articles booked above a prescribed threshold (to be intimated separately), the downgraded ICHs will be allowed to close direct bags to other downgraded ICHs and vice-versa.

• Inward Mail Profile: The NSHs proposed for downgrading primarily process a major chunk of Inward mail rather than both Inward and Outward mail. This inward mail can be processed effectively at the downgraded NSHs (ICHs)¹¹.

• The Parent NSH for each of the downgraded ICHs will be decided in consultation with the respective Circles.

• It must be ensured that no staff should be displaced while downgrading the status of NSH to ICH.
