This expansion plays a crucial role in the company’s recently disclosed $233m investment aimed at improving its logistics and operational infrastructure across India.
With this infrastructure expansion, the company aims to improve well-being, safety initiatives, and the implementation of new tools and technologies within its fulfilment ecosystem. This investment will further strengthen Amazon’s capacity to provide services across all accessible PIN codes in India, prioritising both speed and efficiency in its commitment to customers.
Abhinav Singh, Amazon’s vice president of operations in India and Australia, said: “We are focused on building and operating India’s fastest, safest and most reliable logistics network that delivers to customers across the country. These five new fulfilment centres represent a significant investment in our operations infrastructure and demonstrate our commitment to our customers and sellers across India. With Prime Day 2025 approaching, Prime members can look forward to even faster deliveries, with lakhs of items available for same-day or next-day delivery.”
These centres aim to facilitate quicker delivery of customer orders, enhance seller outreach, and generate job opportunities across both full-time and part-time positions within Amazon’s operational network. The facilities are fully functional in advance of Prime Day and will be vital in guaranteeing rapid deliveries for customers during the peak demand event in July 2025.
