Amazon India announces new fulfilment centres

Amazon India has announced that it has invested in seven new fulfilment centres (FCs). With the launch of these new FCs in Ahmedabad, Delhi, Kolkata, Nagpur, Gurgaon, Pune and Mumbai, Amazon now has 20 FCs operational across 10 states in India. Collectively they offer a storage capacity of nearly four million cubic feet.

Commenting on the expansion programme, Amit Agarwal, Vice President and Country Manager, Amazon India, said: “Sellers on our marketplace have been witnessing exponential growth with overall volume growth exceeding 500% in the latest quarter and largely powered by our Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) service contributing more than 75% of total units. We remain committed to investing in our fulfilment and logistics capability to enable and empower sellers to serve customers nationally at lower costs and increase sales.”

Akhil Saxena, Director, Operations, Amazon India, added: “This investment in fulfilment infrastructure before the upcoming festive season will enable thousands of sellers to take advantage of Amazon’s FBA services and grow exponentially during the country’s biggest shopping season and enable us to offer our guaranteed fast delivery promises to more customers during the festive season.” 

In June this year, Amazon opened its largest FC in India in the state of Telangana and a few weeks later inaugurated its first FC in the state of Punjab in Ludhiana. The company now has FCs in Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Delhi, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana and West Bengal.
