Automatic Mail Processing Centres

Government proposes to set up automatic mail processing centres for sorting of mail in the country during the Eleventh Five Year Plan;



In Delhi and West Bengal orders have already been placed for installation of Automated Mail Processing Systems with one Letter Sorting Machine (LSM) and one Mixed Mail Sorter (MMS) each at Delhi and Kolkata during 2009-2010. In Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu replacement of existing Automated Mail Processing Systems with Letter Sorting Machine (LSM) and Mixed Mail Sorter (MMS) at Mumbai and Chennai is proposed. In Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka it is proposed to have medium configuration machines at Hyderabad and Bangalore.



There is no proposal for setting up Automated Mail Processing Systems in Himachal Pradesh in near future. In Himachal Pradesh, there is only one Mail Office and the volume of mail is low. Installation of Machines is being done only in the Metros and bigger cities where there is heavy volume of mail.



This information was given by the Minister of State for the ministry of Communication and Information and Technology Shri Gurudas Kamat in Rajya Sabha today.
