Amazon opens 15 warehouses for AmazonNow in 4 cities
Amazon’s overall warehousing capacity has now increased to 56 fulfilment centres (FCs) across 13 states with a total storage space of 13.5 million cubic feet, much ahead of Flipkart’s.
Amazon has added 15 new fulfilment centres to create a specialised network for its Amazon Now hyperlocal grocery delivery business, as it looks to offer perishables which is expected to be in sync with its plans for food retail in the country.
The new centres are based in the four cities where Amazon Now is currently available—Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad — helping it take on players like BigBasket and Grofers.
