Everything you need to know about mail to India and how bakergoodchild can help

India, with a huge population of 1.252 billion people, unsurprisingly has one of the largest economies in the world. It currently stands as the sixth largest economy in the world, and has been enjoying rapid economic growth over the last 25 years.

This, when compared to the troubles that many countries in Europe have been facing recently, means that India’s economy has now surpassed that of the UK for the first time in more than 100 years.

There are currently no restrictions or regulations when it comes to international mail within India, so it is a country that many businesses aim to get a good foothold in. We have covered this in more detail below.

Facts about mail in India

The below are some facts you may or may not already know about the mail service in India:

  • Second claim to fame – India also has the largest postal network in the world, with over 1.5 million post offices and over five million employees as of March 2015
  • Well connected – India is well connected with the rest of the world, becoming one of the first members of the Universal Postal Union (UPU), the United Nation’s worldwide postal group
  • Indian address structure – Indian addresses are structured in much the same way as English addresses. This follows the order of: addressee name, flat name or number, street, town or city, postcode, country
