Spanning 3.5 million sq. ft., the expansion includes new fulfilment centres (FCs), micro-fulfilment hubs, and last-mile delivery points across key states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, and Tripura—bringing faster deliveries and greater reach across over 21,000 pincodes.

Flipkart's expansion will enhance operations across Large, Non-Large, and Grocery categories—including offerings by Myntra—and includes the establishment of over 400 micro-fulfilment centres in 19 cities, boosting its quick commerce capabilities. The network upgrade aims to handle millions of orders with speed and efficiency during the festive surge.

Hemant Badri, Senior Vice President at Flipkart, stated:

“This festive season, our 35 lakh sq. ft. infrastructure boost not only ensures rapid delivery across Bharat but also generates over 2.2 lakh seasonal jobs, with a strong focus on women, persons with disabilities, and first-time workers.”
