Amazon boosts investment in speed for faster deliveries across multiple products

Livemint · 2m

Amazon India is investing in improving delivery speed to meet the shift in consumer preferences for faster delivery. The company aims to offer same-day and sub same-day deliveries, with products being delivered within 4-6 hours of purchase. This investment in speed is being driven by the demand for quicker delivery times, as consumers increasingly want their purchases to be delivered within hours instead of days. Amazon India is expanding its sub same-day delivery feature in metro cities, with hundreds of thousands of products available for quick delivery. The company is also planning to offer quick commerce deliveries in response to the growing demand for faster delivery options. Amazon India recently opened three new fulfillment centers in Delhi-NCR, Guwahati, and Patna to enhance delivery speeds during the upcoming festive season. The company expects to break last year's record for its annual festive season sale, the Amazon Great Indian Festival.
