Amazon India has announced the opening of over 30 new delivery stations in Tier II and Tier III cities, including Nagpur, Panchkula, Howrah, and Indore. These centres add to the e-commerce major’s already existing 2,000 delivery centres across the country.

“Our vision was to make available the largest selection in the country to every single Indian at the fastest possible speed. To achieve this vision, we invested at scale every single year. Just a few weeks ago, we announced an additional investment of Rs 2,000 crore.

“We are adding 30 new delivery stations in cities like Nagpur, Panchkula, Hubli, Mohali, Howrah, Indore, and many more. This expansion will substantially improve the same-day and next-day delivery speed for customers in not just these cities, but also all of the areas close to the cities,” Abhinav Singh, VP of Operations at Amazon India, said.

 Amazon India Investment In India

Last month, Amazon said it will invest over Rs 2,000 crore in 2025 to scale up its all-India operations network.

The investment will focus on network expansion and upgrades to ensure faster and more reliable customer service, drive advancements in technology and innovation, and improve the well-being of employees and associates, the company stated in a release.

The investment announcement comes at a time when India’s e-commerce market is booming, fuelled by broadband penetration, affordable smartphones, digital payments, increasing spends from affluent and middle-class households, as well as a mobile-first, digitally-charged younger population.
