Amazon to add five fulfilment centres in India, boost warehousing capacity

With the new centres, the company will be able to retain the position as India's largest warehousing space provider

Amazon is continuing to pepper India with its warehouses, announcing the opening of five new fulfillment centres, which will be ready in the next six months. This comes at a time when logistics and warehousing is becoming one of the most important investments for e-commerce companies in the country.

To be located in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, Vijayawada and Kolkata, the five new centres will serve Amazon's core e-commerce business and will take the total number of warehouses of the company in the country to 67. The new centres will partly contribute to a 150 per cent increase in storage capacity
