Amazon India made a declaration of its plans to enlarge its fulfilment network in India, with nearly 40% increase in its storage capacity over the last year. With it’s new expansion policy, Amazon.in will have more than 43 million cubic feet of storage capacity, across 15 States, supporting around 8.5 lakh sellers across India.
Amazon India acquires more than 60 fulfilment centers and more than 25 professional sites dedicated to Amazon Fresh selection for daily basic requirements and grocery, across India. The establishment of 11 new warehouses and enlargement of 9 existing ones across States such as Maharashtra, Bihar, Gujarat, Assam, Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka, is designed to deliver a smarter, faster, and more consistent experience for its customers and sellers across the country.
Buildings across Amazon India’s fulfillment network are designed with state-of-the art technology and efficient building systems that minimize energy usage. The buildings have on-site and off-site solar panels, which produce solar power. Most buildings are also designed to be net water zero with multiple initiatives such as rainwater collection tanks, recharge wells to replenish water into aquifers, sewage treatment plants, and ultra-low water efficient fixtures.
