Amazon expands ultra-fast delivery service to more than 120 Indian cities
The service is now available in cities including Amritsar, Abohar, Jalandhar, Ambala, Mangalore, Manipal, Visakhapatnam, Kochi, Changanassery, Bhubaneswar and Karwar, Amazon said in a statement on Friday.
Amazon has significantly expanded its ultra-fast delivery service, Amazon Now, to over 120 cities across India, marking a doubling of its footprint within just two weeks. The service, which includes a wide range of products from groceries to fashion and beauty items, now extends from northern cities like Amritsar and Abohar to southern cities such as Kochi and Changanassery.
Amazon Now is powered by a network of nearly 800 micro-fulfilment and urban fulfilment centres, enabling the company to offer fast and reliable delivery across the country. The expansion is part of Amazon's strategy to make fast delivery more accessible, with the company planning to roll out the service to more than 300 cities and build India's largest delivery network.
Amazon Now has already achieved $1 billion in annualized gross sales in India based on the previous three-month period, and the company aims to offer the widest selection of products at the fastest delivery speeds during the upcoming Amazon Great Indian Festival.
