As per the announcement, Amazon India will expand and upgrade its India operations network, including fulfilment centres, sortation hubs and delivery stations, to increase capacity and improve delivery speeds, especially in Tier-II and III cities.
It will also support sellers and small businesses, while contributing to local economic activity. The company plans to expand Amazon Now, both within existing cities and into new ones, offering delivery timelines ranging from minutes to days.
Additional measures include rest areas, improved access to drinking water, spot cooling systems and enhanced accessibility features for workers with disabilities.
