Amazon expands 10 min quick delivery service ‘Amazon Now’ to Gurugram E-commerce major Amazon India has expanded its ultra-fast delivery service, Amazon Now, to Gurugram, further expanding its quick commerce footprint across large Indian cities. Amazon Now enables delivery of daily essentials within 10 minutes through a network of micro fulfilment centres located close to customer neighbourhoods. The service is available through the main Amazon app for select pin codes. The company first piloted the 10-minute delivery service in Bengaluru in December last year. During the pilot, Amazon offered a limited assortment of everyday products, including groceries, personal care items, and small household essentials. Following the Bengaluru pilot, Amazon expanded the service to Delhi, where it rolled out Amazon Now across select locations in the city. In September, Amazon further extended Amazon Now to Mumbai. At the time, the company said it had set up more than 100 micro fulfilment centres across Bengaluru, Delhi, and Mumbai to support the 10-minute delivery promise. Amazon recently said that it is opening two micro fulfilment centres every day to enable 10-minute deliveries across more neighbourhoods in Bengaluru, Delhi, and Mumbai. According to the company, the aggressive expansion expects to take Amazon Now’s footprint to over 300 centres by the end of the year, from around 100 during the festive season. In a recent social media post, Amazon India head Amit Agarwal said the company had piloted the quick delivery service from micro fulfilment centres in Haryana, where teams are able to pick, pack, and deliver everyday essentials within minutes. The move coincides with heightened activity in the quick commerce segment, with players such as Zepto, Blinkit, and Instamart stepping up their expansion efforts. Amazon’s rival Flipkart entered the space earlier with the launch of its quick delivery service, Minutes, in Gurugram and other parts of the NCR region late last year.

Amazon has announced plans to invest more than $35 billion in India by 2030, according to multiple media reports. The investment will be made over the next five years and spans the company’s e-commerce, cloud computing, logistics, and digital services businesses in the country. With this commitment, Amazon’s cumulative investment in India is expected to reach nearly $75 billion, including the approximately $40 billion it has already invested since 2010. The company said the fresh capital will be deployed across Amazon Web Services, fulfilment infrastructure, last-mile delivery, data centres, and AI-led initiatives. Amazon added that the investment will also support its seller ecosystem and exports program, which enables Indian sellers to sell globally through the platform. Amazon said it aims to support around 15 million small businesses in India by integrating artificial intelligence tools into their operations and expects the investment to contribute to the creation of about one million jobs by 2030. Amazon operates multiple business verticals in India, including its marketplace, Prime Video, AWS cloud services, payments, and logistics. The company has also expanded its data centre and fulfilment network across several states to support growing demand. India remains one of Amazon’s key international markets, with the company continuing to invest in infrastructure, technology, and local sellers as part of its long-term operations in the country. The announcement comes a day after Microsoft said it would invest $17.5 billion in India over the coming years to expand its AI and cloud infrastructure footprint. Meanwhile, Google has already committed to invest $15 billion in India over the next five years.
