Amazon Expands Fulfillment Network Ahead of Festive Season

In a move to bolster its logistics network in India, Amazon has announced the launch of 12 new fulfillment centers (FCs) and 6 sort centers across the country. This expansion, which comes ahead of the upcoming festive season, adds a combined 8.6 million cubic feet of incremental storage capacity - the equivalent of 100 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

The newly launched FCs are located in major cities like Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Hyderabad, as well as in Tier-2 and Tier-3 towns such as Nagpur, Visakhapatnam, and Krishnagiri. Amazon has also set up sort centers in Hubli, Trivandrum, Rajpura, and other smaller cities, indicating a focus on reaching customers in more remote areas.

"As India gets ready for the festive season, we are readying ourselves to enable sellers to serve customers across the country," said Abhinav Singh, VP of Operations at Amazon India and Australia. This expansion builds on Amazon's previous investments, including the launch of 5 FCs and over 30 last-mile delivery stations in June 2025.

The retail giant's commitment to strengthening its logistics network in India underscores its ambitions to maintain a leading position in the country's rapidly growing e-commerce market, especially during the peak shopping season.
