India Post has announced the nationwide rollout of its Advanced Postal Technology (APT), a Rs 5,800 crore initiative under the IT 2.0 program aimed at accelerating the country’s digital transformation.
Union Minister for Communications and Development of North Eastern Region Jyotiraditya M. Scindia congratulated India Post on the launch, calling it a “historic leap in Bharat’s digital journey.”
In his post on social media, Scindia highlighted that the platform is fully indigenous and aligned with the government’s Digital India and Make in India missions. “APT is designed to enable real-time decision-making, boost e-commerce reach, cut operational costs through automation, and deliver citizen-first, mobile-ready services anywhere, anytime,” he wrote.
He further said the project reflects the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling it an example of Aatmanirbhar Bharat “in full strength, charting the path for a stronger, self-reliant Digital India.”
The rollout is set to modernize India Post’s vast network, making it more agile and competitive in an evolving logistics and communications landscape.
Earlier this month, India Post announced that the APT system had already been implemented across 1.64 lakh post offices within just three months. Developed entirely in-house by the Centre for Excellence in Postal Technology, the platform has been described as more than just a system upgrade—“a Made-in-India solution for a more connected, efficient, and responsive postal network.”
