Players in the e-Commerce market have been aggressively investing in infrastructure and logistics to improve delivery time and quality of service to woo more customers.

Both Flipkart and Snapdeal, in the last few weeks, have opened such centres to ensure delivery within 24 hours as they compete with other e-commerce firms to sell products like apparels, electronics and other lifestyle products.

Flipkart has four FCs - Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Bangalore - and the firm plans to open more such centres as it aims to expand its seller base to 12,000 covering 30 cities to cater to about 18 million registered users.

On the other hand, Snapdeal has 40 FCs across 15 cities, which the firm will further increase covering 30 cities, to help its 30,000 seller base reach out swiftly to about to over 25 million members.

e-Commerce firms have benefitted greatly from increasing Internet penetration.

As broadband consumption in the country grows, these firms have found customers in even remotest corners of the country and analysts are of the view that such centres will help in delivering the same quality of service in these parts.

According to consulting firm Technopak, the $2.3 billion (2014) e-tailing market in India is projected to reach 3 percent of the Indian retail space to touch $32 billion, by 2020.
