Walmart-owned online e-commerce company Flipkart announced plans to add more than 800,000 square feet of space and 5 new fulfillment centers to strengthen its grocery supply chain infrastructure. These centers will be located at Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Coimbatore and Hyderabad over the next three months. The additional capacity will help Flipkart cater to over 73,000 grocery orders per day, said the company.
Flipkart Grocery has over 7,000 items in 200 plus categories, including everyday household necessities, groceries, snacks and beverages, confectionery, and personal care.
Last month, Flipkart announced the expansion of its hyperlocal service Flipkart Quick to six new cities — Delhi, Gurugram, Ghaziabad, Noida, Hyderabad, and Pune — to provide consumers access to order daily essentials such as fruits and vegetables and get them delivered within 90 minutes.
