Amazon adds five new fulfillment centers to its operations network, ahead of Prime Day 2025 | Company Business News

Ahead of Prime Day 2025 in July, Amazon has announced the launch of five new fulfilment centers (FCs) in India, strengthening its already extensive operations network. This expansion marks the company’s first FCs in Indore, Bhubaneshwar, Kochi, and Rajpura. These facilities will be run by leading logistics partners and are expected to enhance delivery speeds for customers nationwide.

The move is aimed at helping sellers bring their products closer to buyers, improving service efficiency while also generating thousands of job opportunities in the regions. These jobs will span various roles within Amazon’s operations, offering both full-time and part-time employment. All five fulfilment centers, with a total storage capacity of more than 1.8 million cubic feet—roughly the size of 10 cricket grounds—are now fully operational in time for Prime Day.

“We are focused on building and operating India’s fastest, safest and most reliable logistics network that delivers to customers across the country. These five new fulfillment centers represent a significant investment in our operations infrastructure and demonstrate our commitment to our customers and sellers across India. With Prime Day 2025 approaching, Prime members can look forward to even faster deliveries, with lakhs of items available for same-day or next-day delivery,” said Abhinav Singh, VP Operations India & Australia.

Amazon recently announced an additional investment of ₹2,000 crore to further strengthen its commitment to building India’s most efficient, secure, and dependable operations network. This funding will support the expansion and modernization of its operations infrastructure, enhance safety and well-being initiatives for associates, and advance technology and tools within its fulfillment network. This investment adds to Amazon’s ongoing efforts to develop a logistics system capable of reaching every serviceable pin code in the country.

In 2024, Amazon achieved its fastest delivery speeds ever for Prime members, fulfilling over 41 crore orders on the same day or the next day. These improvements not only saved time for customers but also provided significant cost savings—Prime members saved an average of over ₹3,300 on fast, free deliveries last year, which is more than twice the annual cost of a Prime membership.
