Flipkart has announced the opening of two new Fulfilments Centres (FCs) in Uttar Pradesh, aimed at bolstering its supply chain capabilities and enhancing customer service across the region. The new facilities, which include an FC and sortation centre in Unnao, as well as a sortation centre and Grocery FC in Varanasi, collectively cover over 5 lakh square feet of storage space. The virtual inauguration was conducted by the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath.
These new centres are designed to streamline delivery times and improve efficiency across numerous pin codes while creating more than 3,600 direct and indirect employment opportunities. The new Grocery FC in Varanasi and the non-large facility in Unnao will offer a wide range of products, from local items to established brands, enhancing the shopping experience for millions of customers.
During the inauguration, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath emphasised the positive impact of Flipkart’s expansion on the state’s economic growth. “Flipkart’s substantial investment in Uttar Pradesh is a testament to the state’s growing reputation as an emerging industrial and entrepreneurial hub. These fulfilment centres are not only generating large-scale employment but also empowering the state’s MSME units by providing them with a pan-India reach. Millions of customers can benefit from Flipkart’s advanced supply chain, which seamlessly processes a large number of orders every day,” he stated.
Rajneesh Kumar, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer of Flipkart Group, highlighted the company’s commitment to strengthening local communities and businesses through strategic investments. “With the government’s continued focus on creating a conducive business environment and fostering innovation, Uttar Pradesh offers enormous potential for entrepreneurial growth and success. It has become one of the leading states in e-commerce adoption and seller empowerment,” said Kumar. “With our strategic investments in Uttar Pradesh and our wide marketplace ecosystem, we aim to strengthen local communities, MSMEs, farmers, and ancillary businesses by supporting their digital transformation journey.”
Flipkart’s expanding infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh includes over 15 lakh square feet of Grocery FCs, Mother Hubs, Last Mile, and Jeeves F1 hubs, generating over 7 lakh jobs. The company has also partnered with the state government on initiatives like Flipkart Samarth and Samarth Krishi to support MSMEs and enhance market access. Flipkart’s collaboration with the state’s One District One Product (ODOP) program has further bolstered the sale of district-specific products, achieving over ₹1,600 crores in sales.
As Flipkart continues to grow its logistics network, the company remains committed to serving the evolving needs of its customers with faster, more reliable deliveries and an enhanced shopping experience through multilingual app support and innovative features like voice-enabled shopping and credit offerings.
