India-based leading e-commerce marketplace, Snapdeal has announced that it has opened 130 new distribution hubs since January 2021 across all of India, covering 26 states and two union territories.
Snapdeal in its statement said that “The maximum number of these hubs are located in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh.”
In addition, Snapdeal has augmented its logistics network in Jammu & Kashmir and the North-East.
“The network expansion is serving the growing demand for online shopping from smaller cities such as Baramulla (J&K), Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh), Khammam (Telangana), Alwar (Rajasthan), Sambalpur (Odisha), Tumkur (Karnataka), Latur (Maharashtra), Dimapur (Nagaland) and is designed to speed up deliveries for customers in these cities and surrounding areas,” the statement added.
“The expanded network is also designed to cater to the surge in demand that is typical of the festive season starting in India from early October,” it added.
Commenting on the development, Snapdeal’s Spokesperson said, “The new hubs are located in areas where there is either growing buyer demand or higher seller concentration. The new facilities are designed towards rapid pick-ups from sellers and faster deliveries to buyers”, a Snapdeal spokesperson said. “The network expansion will also reduce the distance that some of our shipments travel by helping fulfill some of the demand from within the region.”
With the addition of these new hubs, Snapdeal now serves over 26,000 pin codes, reaching over 90% of Indians across India, including metros, Tier 1 & 2 cities, and most of Tier 3 and 4 towns of India.
