Amazon India is planning to expand its fulfilment network in India, with 11 more fulfilment centres and a close to 40% rise in storage space over last year.
With this increase, Amazon India will have more than 43 million cu ft of storage space, over 15 states, helping about 8.5 lakh sellers over India. Amazon India鈥檚 overall fulfilment network will spread over a floor area of above 10 million sq ft.
Amazon India now has above 60 fulfilment centres and over 25 specialised sites dedicated to Amazon Fresh selection for grocery and daily essentials over India.
The new fulfilment centres and increase of nine existing ones over Bihar, Maharashtra, Delhi, West Bengal, Rajasthan, Assam, Gujarat, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Karnataka, is designed to deliver a smarter, quicker and more steady experience for its customers and sellers.
Few of these new fulfilment centres will be operational ahead of Prime Day 2021 in July end.
The expansion is also in line with the forthcoming festive season which adds to a large number of e-commerce sales in India. Amazon India said all its new fulfilment centres would be operational before the festival season sales.
It will also offer a fillip to the ancillary businesses in logistics, packaging, and transportation, amongst others, while producing essential work opportunities over the country.
