Amazon India announced the expansion of its delivery network in the 8 states of North East India. With close to 60 Amazon-owned and Delivery Service Partner stations in the region, the company has added several new pin codes to its delivery footprint ahead of the festive season this year, including remote towns such as Champhai, Kolasib, Lumding, Pasighat and Mokokchung.
Amazon has partnered with local entrepreneurs as part of the Delivery Service Partner program, enabling these small businesses with growth opportunities and helping Amazon India to penetrate into tier 3 and tier 4 locations in the North East with its own delivery services. Amazon India’s expanded reach will provide a seamless shopping experience to customers in towns such as Champhai that acts as the main business corridor for Eastern India and neighbouring countries in the area. The expansion also includes regions across varying topographies, such as Tura valley and the urban centre of Mokokchung. Last month, the company announced the addition of close to 200 Amazon operated and Delivery Service Partner stations, with a delivery network of 1700 stations across the country this festive season. The company has also strengthened its delivery programs with its flagship ‘I Have Space’ (IHS) program, now comprising of more than 28,000 neighborhood and kirana in close to 350 cities.
