Amazon Expands Infrastructure
Amazon India will invest over ?2,000 crore in 2025 to strengthen its fulfillment network, enhance associate welfare, and drive innovation in logistics
New Delhi: Amazon in June will invest over ?2,000 crore ($233 million) in 2025 to expand and upgrade its operations infrastructure, enhance associate safety and well-being programmes, and develop new tools and technologies for its fulfillment network.
This investment builds upon Amazon’s ongoing efforts to establish a robust operations network capable of delivering to every serviceable pin-code across India, the company said in a statement.
“For over a decade now in India, we have been focused on building best-in-class logistics infrastructure—designed to deliver with safety, speed, scale, and reliability for our customers across the country,” said Abhinav Singh, VP - Operations, Amazon India and Australia.
“By strengthening our infrastructure capabilities, enhancing processing capacity, and implementing state-of-the-art technology, we’re positioning Amazon to better serve customers throughout India while supporting our employees, associates, and partners who are the heart of it all,” Singh added.
The company said it will leverage the new investments to launch additional sites and upgrade existing facilities across its fulfillment, sortation, and delivery network.
This investment will boost processing capacity, improve fulfillment speed, and enhance operational efficiency, enabling Amazon to deliver faster and more reliably to customers nationwide.
Amazon also stated it will continue to invest in and expand programmes aimed at improving the health and financial well-being of its employees and associates across the operations network.
At the fifth edition of its annual Smbhav Summit held in the national capital in December last year, Amazon had announced plans to quadruple its exports commitment, targeting over $80 billion in cumulative exports from India by 2030.
The e-commerce major has also allocated $120 million from its Smbhav Venture Fund to support startups that digitise consumer goods. Previously, Amazon committed to digitising 10 million MSMEs, generating $20 billion in cumulative exports, and creating 2 million jobs in India by 2025.
