Ahead of festive season, Amazon India launches 3 new fulfilment centres

With an eye on the upcoming festive season, Amazon India on Tuesday announced the launch of three new fulfilment centres in Delhi NCR, Guwahati and Patna.

The new centres, along with the expansion of Amazon's existing fulfilment network, will significantly boost delivery speeds for customers in North and East India, the company said in a release.

Announcing the launch of the three new fulfilment centres, it said, "With a combined storage space of 1.2 million plus cubic feet, the new fulfilment centres will enable faster fulfilment of customer orders in the region."

The investment will help sellers across the region serve customers better as it places selection closer to customers, and would create thousands of new job opportunities providing an economic impetus to the region.

"These jobs entail a variety of roles in Amazon's operations network, including full-time and part-time opportunities. All these buildings are ready and operational ahead of the upcoming festive season and will collectively support more than 2.5 lakh sellers across Delhi NCR, Bihar and Assam," it added.
