India Post has launched two new express delivery services called Speed Post 24 and Speed Post 48.
These services promise guaranteed delivery within 24 hours and 48 hours, helping India Post offer faster and more reliable deliveries across selected routes.
The move is aimed at modernising postal services and competing more strongly with private courier companies.

Speed Post 24 and Speed Post 48 are premium express options under the Speed Post service.
Speed Post 24 guarantees delivery within 24 hours, while Speed Post 48 ensures delivery within 48 hours.
These timelines apply to parcels and mail sent through selected routes where fast delivery can be managed smoothly.
