REA

During the reviews of Joint Parcel Product (JPP) Special trains, which have been
launched on pan-India basis during the past month, it has been noticed that at some
locations, the field officials of Indian Railways as well as of India Post are not well
conversant with the functioning of Parcel Management System (PMS) - leading to problems
in handing-over/ taking-over of booked consignments on the system. Further, there is also
lack of coordination between the officials (of both the organizations) at some locations.

Due to these issues, the complete details of consignments are at times not being fed
in the PMS, and therefore the customers are unable to track their consignments.

In view of the above, it is requested that the field officials of Indian Railways and
India Post may be sensitized regarding the need for coordination and the importance of JPP
in providing end-to-end logistic solutions to our customers; and proper training regarding
the functioning of PMS may also be imparted on them न so that the complete details of
consignments may be fed in the system at each stage.

The concerned Sr.DCMs and Directors (Postal Services) may be ery for
continuous attention and remedial action (whenever required) to make the Joint Patcel
Product a success. Action taken in this regard may also be advised to this office.please.

No. 2020/TC(FM)/11/19 Dated 22.02.2023

Principal Chief Commercial Managers,
All Zonal Railways (except ECoR, NCR, NWR, SECR, and WCR).

Sub: Efforts to maximize utilization of non-JPP portion of time-tabled JPP
Special trains.
Ref: Board’s letter of even number dated 10.02.2023.

KRERAAE

Time-tabled Joint Parcel Product (JPP) Special trains have recently been
introduced between select origin-destination pairs, which are being operated jointly by
Indian railways and India Post. In these trains, India Post is providing first-mile-last-
mile services while Indian Railways are providing middle-mile transportation. Further,
Zonal Railways have been authorized to utilize the space available (after catering to the
JPP consignments) for loading consignments books directly with Railways - for which
detailed instructions have already been issued vide letter under reference.

Zonal Railways are expected to maximize the marketing efforts at all levels so
that the parcel space available with these JPP Special trains is utilized to the maximum
extent, in both directions. Further, it is advised that efforts may be made to lease parcel
space in JPP Special trains on long/ medium term contracts through e-Auctions - since
such long/ medium term leasing contracts will give assured traffic to Railways, at
market determined rates.

Zonal Railways are requested to send periodic reports on the action taken wm

regard to this office, for intimation of Board ae —,
