A pilot project was launched vide Board’s letter under reference, for ‘Joint
Parcel Product (JPP)’ of Indian Railways and India Post, by attaching a Parcel Van in
train no. 19045/19046 (Tapti Ganga Exp.) between Surat and Varanasi. Under the
‘JPP’, wherein India Post is to provide ‘first & last mile’ services, and Indian
Railways is to provide the ‘middle mile’ services.

Requests are being received from the India Post as well as from some Zonal
Railways for extension of the ‘Proof of Concept (PoC)’ over other routes of Indian
Railways. Hence, in order to expedite the approval process for such expansion, it has
been decided that:

1. The proof of concept may be expanded -- by earmarking space onlyin the SLR of
any scheduled passenger-carrying train -- by the Division where the train originates, in
consultation with India Post and with the approval of the DRM.

2. It must be ensured that the right-time start and punctuality of the train is not
adversely affected on this account.

3. Booking of consignments shall be done consignment-wise in Parcel Management
System (PMS), by the staff of Department of Posts. For this purpose, Department of
Posts may be defined as a City Booking Agency (CBA) in the PMS, at the concerned
originating and destination station.

4. Charging for first-mile and/or last-mile services, to be provided by India Post, shall
be decided by India Post.

5. Railway shall charge the ‘JPP’ services at a premium of 10% over the scale
applicable for that particular train, during the Proof of Concept. (Charging for trains
running at 'R'-scale shall be at R+10%, for trains running at 'P'-scale shall be at
P+10%, and so on.)

6. Other relevant conditions, as mentioned in Railway Board’s letter No.
2020/TC(FM)/11/19, dated 29.03.2022 (copy enclosed), shall remain applicable.
