This expansion aims to extend freight reach to smaller markets and improve service in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan. The exact number of new delivery hubs and the timeline for the rollout have not been disclosed. The move will likely reduce shipping times and costs for Amazon customers in the affected regions.
