Demonstrating aggressive market penetration, Amazon Now scaled its footprint to four times as many cities in under 10 weeks, extending its delivery-in-minutes service to over 60 Indian cities and towns ahead of the festive season.Beyond major metropolitan areas, the service has rapidly penetrated numerous tier II and III markets, bringing ultra-fast deliveries to cities and towns such as Padubidri, Tirupati, Guntur, Gurdaspur, Jalandhar, Vellore, Dharwad, Warangal, and Berhampur.

The company remains firmly on track to hit its goal of reaching 100 cities by Diwali, stretching its network from northern hubs like Gurdaspur and Hoshiarpur to southern locations such as Vembayam and Alamcode.
