As part of its ongoing infrastructure expansion plan, e-commerce major Amazon India opened its largest fulfilment centre (FC) in the state of Haryana to boost deliveries ahead of the festive season.

The new FC is situated in Panchgaon and spread over an area of 300,000 square feet with over 1.5 million cubic feet of storage space.
 
“With the launch of our largest fulfilment centre in Haryana, we now have a storage capacity of more than five million cubic feet in the state. The FC will enable sellers to use the local infrastructure, save capital and help them grow,” said Akhil Saxena, Vice President, Customer Fulfilment, Amazon India, in a statement.

“The centre is expected to provide support to the local economy by enabling the growth of ancillary businesses such as packaging, transportation, logistics and hospitality across the state,” he added.
 
It will cater to customer demand for products in categories such as smartphones, consumer electronics, appliances, fashion and consumables, Amazon India said.
 
Amazon India is expected to open four more FCs during the year and hopes to have 67 operational fulfilment centres in 13 states with a combined storage space of close to 20 million cubic feet by end of 2018.
