Online
retail giant Amazon will set up a warehouse centre in Hyderabad and
start operations from a leased facility in about two months before its
own facility is constructed.
A
delegation from Amazon, led by global director and head for Real Estate
and Facilities John Schoettler, met Telangana IT Minister K T Rama Rao
and discussed the expansion plans, said a press release issued by the
state government.
“Amazon
has come forward to set up a warehouse/ fulfilment centre in Hyderabad.
Amazon will start their operations from a leased facility in about two
months before the own facility is constructed.
“Minister
K T Rama Rao assured the delegation that the state government would
extend all incentives to the Amazon facility as per the new Industrial
Policy,” the release said.
Amazon will be training the MSME clusters for utilising the online platforms for boosting their revenues, it said.
The
minister requested Amazon to create an online market place for
promoting Telangana handicrafts such as Nirmal handicrafts, Pochampalli
sarees and Bidri-ware for which the company has responded positively, it
added.
