With just days to go before its Prime Day sale, Amazon India has announced the expansion of its warehouse network with the launch of a new specialised fulfilment center (FC) for large appliances and furniture in Ludhiana, Punjab.
The new warehouse has a storage capacity of nearly three lakh cubic feet and is located in Doraha, Ludhiana, the company said in a statement.
With the new launch, Amazon India will have two warehouses with more than 4.5 lakh cubic feet of storage space in Ludhiana, it added.

The latest move would also enable faster delivery of products to customers with a wider product selection this Prime Day on August 6-7, 2020, it stated.
Amazon India offers over 4,500 products in the large appliances category including air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, and TVs from brands such as LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Bosch, IFB, and Haier.

Abhinav Singh, Director, Amazon Transportation Services, Amazon India, said, the company's warehouse infrastructure will help thousands of sellers across the state and help them reach a wider customer base.
"With Prime Day around the corner, we are confident that the new FC will help us provide a delightful experience to our customers with a wider range of products, as they continue to stay safe at their homes , Singh said.
