13 | India Post Working Draft - Last Modified 31.03.2010 12:13:14 Printed 30.03.2010 23:15:37 12 Coordinates (Latitude / Longitude) Missing coordinates Questionable 2 coordinates 12.0 Unique coordinates Duplicate 1 coordinates All coordinates Post Office coordinates and booking/delivery volume SOURCE: Mail Network Optimisation Project Percent of average daily booking volumes Used for modelling as isPO coordinates assumed to be same as NSPC coordinates Booking / Delivery Volumes ▪ Booking/delivery volume information at the post office level is used to split the “ from-to ” NSPC volume matrix (previous page) between the POs ▪ For post offices for which no volume information is available, the average daily booking and delivery volumes are assumed to be 1 Source ▪ Coordinate ▪ Volume : http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html : Jan - Apr 2010 PO level data from Speed Net 85% of data is usable which is sufficient for the purpose of modeling 1 Duplicate coordinates exist since India (specially rural areas) is not yet completely mapped by latitude/longitude providers 2 The distance between PO and corresponding NSPC is more than 200 km as per the coordinates Note: 100% = 10 million per month

Not all mail booked till 1900 would be delivered in D+1 19:00 hrs Scenarios 16:00 hrs

With ~685,000 letter boxes across the country, India Post provides a wide network Capturing the growth opportunity in the future will only happen if quality is improved, which will require an operational transformation of the First Class product segment

Main differences between First Class and Speed Post
