Amazon adds five new fulfilment centres ahead of Prime Day 2025

With Prime Day 2025 starting in July, Amazon announced the launch of five new fulfilment centers (FCs) in Delhi NCR, Rajpura (Punjab), Indore (Madhya Pradesh), Kochi (Kerala), and Bhubaneshwar (Orissa).

This expansion brings the first Amazon FC in Indore, Bhubaneshwar, Kochi and Rajpura.

“These new fulfilment centres (FCs) will be operated and managed by partners who are leaders in the logistics industry and will boost delivery speeds for customers across the country

The expansion will help sellers better serve customers by placing selection closer to them and creating thousands of new work opportunities that will provide economic benefits to the region. These opportunities include a variety of roles in Amazon's operations network, including full-time and part-time options. All five FCs are ready and operational ahead of the upcoming Prime Day and have a combined capacity of over 1.8 million cu. feet, which is equivalent to about 10 cricket grounds.

"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 fulfilment centres represent a significant investment in our operations infrastructure and demonstrate our commitment to our customers and sellers across India," said Abhinav Singh, VP Operations India & Australia. "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. "

Last week, Amazon announced an additional ₹2000 crore in investment as part of its commitment to building and operating India's fastest, safest, and most reliable operations network. The investment will be used to expand and upgrade operations infrastructure, improve associate safety and well-being programs, and develop new tools and technology for its fulfilment network. This new investment builds on top of Amazon’s investments in creating an operations network that helps the company deliver to all serviceable pin-codes across India.

Recently, Amazon announced that it delivered at its fastest speeds ever for Prime members in 2024 and delivered more than 41 crore items the same day or next day, getting customers what they need, when they need it. And it’s not just time that customers are saving, Prime members also saved on average of over ₹3,300 on fast, free deliveries last year—more than two times the cost of an annual Prime membership.

Earlier this week, Amazon announced that Prime Day 2025 will be a first-ever three-day celebration in India, running from July 12 to July 14.
