January 4, 2018: Flipkart, in a bid to further boost its delivery and warehousing capabilities, has invested approximately Rs 1,632 crore into its logistics arm Ekart.

EKart is operated by Instakart Services Pvt. Ltd. In November, Flipkart raised the bulk of this sum in two tranches, amounting to Rs 1,309.20 crore ($206.20 million), while the remaining Rs 327.41 crore ($ 51.56 million) was raised in October, the filings revealed.
