Flipkart, India’s homegrown e-commerce marketplace, announced a major expansion of its pan-India supply chain infrastructure ahead of its flagship festive event, The Big Billion Days. With the addition of new fulfilment centres (FCs) and last-mile hubs across key states such as Uttar Pradesh (Varanasi, Agra, Ghaziabad), Bihar (Patna), Haryana (Manesar), and Tripura (Agartala), Flipkart is deepening its regional presence, enabling faster festive deliveries, and creating thousands of jobs while powering the rapid growth of quick commerce in India.
This year’s expansion spans 35 lakh sq. ft., covering 21,000+ pincodes nationwide.
Facilities for all, including Large, Non-Large & Grocery:
- The new operational Varanasi Center is spread across 2.0 lakh sq. ft., generating 3600 direct and indirect job opportunities.
- The newly operational Patna Fulfilment Center, a 4.5 lakh sq. ft. cornerstone facility, serves more than 1,000 pincodes and has created over 1,100 direct and indirect jobs.
- Flipkart is now operating in a Regional Distribution Center (RDC) in Manesar, one of India’s largest state-of-the-art facilities. Spread over 140 acres, the RDC will create over 10,000 direct and indirect jobs, contributing significantly to local employment. The center is expected to cater to a wide range of products, including parcel goods, white goods, and furniture, adapting its assortment dynamically to meet customer requirements and market trends.
- Flipkart expanded its footprint in the Northeast with its first grocery fulfillment center in Agartala, Tripura. Spread over 35,000 square feet and equipped with a daily dispatch capacity of 5,000 orders per day.
In addition to Varanasi, Patna, Manesar, Ranchi, Ghaziabad, Agra and Agartala, Flipkart has gone live with new facilities in Guwahati, Singur, and Saidham, to name a few, strengthening last-mile reach ahead of the festive season. With these additions, Flipkart’s network now comprises over 100 fulfilment centers nationwide, collectively capable of processing millions of festive orders with speed and precision.
Hemant Badri, Senior Vice President and Head of Supply Chain, Customer Experience & Re-Commerce, Flipkart Group, said: “Flipkart’s supply chain blends the scale of large fulfilment centers with the agility of hyperlocal hubs, creating a hybrid network that serves every corner of Bharat. This festive season, our expanded infrastructure spanning 35 lakh sq. ft. across Varanasi, Patna, Manesar, Ranchi, Ghaziabad, Agra and Agartala not only strengthens delivery speed and reliability for millions of customers but also generates inclusive job opportunities at scale. 2.2 lakh+ seasonal job opportunities have been created with a strong focus on women, PwD and first-time workforce hiring. From metros to Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, our focus remains on delivering convenience, strengthening regional economies, and building a future-ready supply chain powered by technology and inclusivity.”
Complementing its large-scale fulfillment centers, Flipkart is also scaling its quick commerce backbone through nearly 400 new micro-fulfilment centers and dark stores across 19 cities. This network underpins Flipkart Minutes, which has doubled order volumes every 45 days since launch, enabling faster-than-ever delivery of essentials and festive products.
As part of its festive readiness, Flipkart has created over 2.2 lakh additional seasonal job opportunities across warehousing, logistics, and last-mile delivery roles. This includes opportunities for persons with disabilities (PwDs) and other segments of society across its supply chain. With inclusive hiring, tech-led skilling through the Supply Chain Operations Academy (SCOA), and partnerships with social organisations, Flipkart is strengthening both festive operational capacity and India’s broader employment ecosystem.
Ekart, in partnership with NReach Online Services Limited, has launched on-ground health camps under its Suraksha wellness program to support over 6,000 warehouse associates across 21 supply chain facilities. Timed ahead of the festive season and Big Billion Days, the camps offer essential screenings, including blood tests and diabetic, kidney, liver, and cardiac assessments, enabling early health insights for frontline employees. This builds on Suraksha’s broader impact, which has supported 1.7 lakh associates in 2025 and facilitated over 18 lakh minutes of doctor consultations last year. The initiative reflects Ekart’s commitment to caring for the people who help deliver India’s festive joy.
With these expansions, Flipkart reaffirms its role as a pan-India enabler of festive e-commerce and quick commerce, ensuring that The Big Billion Days 2025 brings faster, smarter, and more joyful shopping experiences for customers across the country.
