Mumbai, June 24 -- Amazon plans to build the country's largest delivery-in-minutes network by expanding its ultra-fast service, Amazon Now, to more than 300 cities across India. The expansion aims to scale up specialized fulfillment infrastructure to offer tens of thousands of products delivered within minutes or a few hours.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy highlighted the rapid growth of the micro-fulfillment model during his visit to a facility in Mumbai.

"It's our fastest-growing ecommerce business unit in India and we're expanding to 300+ cities as part of our plan to build the country's largest delivery-in-minutes network. And what we've learned building it here is now helping us scale it across the U.S. and around the world," Jassy said.
