Hyderabad, April 8
Announcing the largest
investment in India so far, online retail giant Amazon on Wednesday said
it would open Fulfilment Centre (FC), its largest warehouse in the
country, near here.
Coming up near Kottur, on the outskirts of
Hyderabad, the FC will be spread over 280,000 square feet. It will be
operational from May this year.
This is the largest investment
in infrastructure in any state in India by Amazon. However, the quantum
of investment has not been revealed.
The announcement was made

Telangana's Information Technology Minister K.T. Rama Rao.
The company also inked a Memorandum of Understanding with the state government.
With
the opening of the new FC in Telangana, Amazon will have 11 FCs
operational across nine states in India, covering a total of over one
million square feet space with a storage capacity of over 2.5 million
cubic feet.
