Amazon to set up warehouse centre in Hyderabad

HYDERABAD: Amazon India will set up a warehouse/fulfilment centre in Hyderabad as part of its expansion. A delegation led by global director and head for real estate and facilities at Amazon, John Schoettler, agreed to train MSME clusters and showcase handicrafts sourced from the state as a part of its marketplace, said a release issued by the Telangana state government.

The global e-commerce player will operate from a leased facility two months ahead of the completion of the warehouse facility. Five fulfilment centres were added to the company’s existing facilities in 2014, in addition to its operations in Mumbai and Bengaluru.

Sources indicated that the Hyderabad facility of three lakh square-feet will be spread over 25 acres of land.
