To support this push, Amazon is investing heavily in specialised fulfilment infrastructure, including over 1,000 micro-fulfilment centres. This will enable faster deliveries within minutes, not just in metros but also in non-metro cities.

The expansion will cover cities such as Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Jaipur, Lucknow, Kanpur, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, Meerut, Mysore, Panipat, Kochi, Amritsar, Mangalore, and Visakhapatnam, in addition to existing markets like Mumbai, Delhi NCR, and Bengaluru.

For those unfamiliar, Amazon Now focuses on delivering daily essentials at speed. This includes groceries, personal care items, fashion and beauty products, small appliances, pet supplies, and more.
