In preparation for the upcoming festive season, Amazon India announced the launch of three new fulfillment centers in Delhi NCR, Guwahati and Patna. These new fulfilment centers, along with the expansion of Amazon's existing fulfillment network, will significantly boost delivery speeds for customers in North and East India.

The investment will help sellers across these states better serve their customers by placing selection closer to customers, and 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 Lakhs across Delhi NCR, Bihar and Assam.

Most buildings in Amazon’s operations network are designed with state-of-the art technology, efficient building systems to minimize energy usage. They are designed to be net water zero with initiatives such as rainwater collection tanks, recharge wells to replenish water into aquifers, sewage treatment plants etc. As an inclusive place to work, Amazon FCs are designed to make them accessible to people with disabilities.

Abhinav Singh, VP Operations, Amazon India said, “We are committed to serve our customers across every pin-code in India and bring them their favourite products fast and reliably, especially during the festive season. As part of this, we have added three new fulfilment centers to our existing pan-India operations network that consists of over 43M cu feet of storage space, sort centers in 19 states, about 2000 delivery stations, Amazon Air, our partnerships with Indian Railways, India Post and much more. These new fulfillment centers will enable sellers in the region to better cater to customer needs while generating thousands of job opportunities, fostering economic growth in the local communities.”
