Amazon India To Open 5 Centres For Faster Delivery


NEW DELHI: Global e-commerce giant Amazon will open 5 new centres across India to ensure faster product delivery in the fiercely competitive online shopping space, which is dominated by homegrown players like Flipkart and Snapdeal.

The US-based firm already has two fulfilment centres (FCs) in Mumbai and Bangalore. With the addition of the five centres, Amazon's total storage capacity will almost double to over half a million sq feet.

"As part of its ongoing commitment to continually enhance services to customers and sellers, Amazon Seller Services India on Monday announced its plans to open five more FCs in Delhi, Chennai, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and Tauru (outskirts of Gurgaon)," it said in a statement.

The centres will meet the needs of retailers and small and medium-sized businesses in Haryana, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Rajasthan, while customers will benefit from faster shipping times and greater availability, it added.

"The fulfilment centre in Chennai is already operational and the remaining four FCs will be operational next month," Amazon said.
