Patna, Bihar – June 12, 2025: Flipkart, India’s homegrown e-commerce marketplace, has strengthened its presence in Patna with the launch of a new fulfillment center (FC) to enhance its supply chain infrastructure in the state. The facility underscores Flipkart’s commitment to advancing digital commerce by empowering local sellers, creating opportunities for youth, and enhancing accessibility for customers.

Equipped with advanced technologies such as conveyors for material movement and over 59,430 sq.ft. storage capacity for non-large items, the center enhances Flipkart’s ability to handle high order volumes with both next-day and same-day deliveries.
