Flipkart on Wednesday said that it will begin offering free same-day delivery of items across many categories in February.
The facility would initially be offered in 20 cities, including Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, Guwahati, Ludhiana, Nagpur, Siliguri, Vijayawada, and Coimbatore, according to a statement from the Bengaluru-based firm.
Products across categories like mobile phones, fashion, beauty products, lifestyle, books, home appliances and electronics will be available under this programme.
“We are working to provide same-day delivery to 20 cities… We will further scale it in the months to come to include more cities and more categories, including large appliances,” said Hemant Badri, senior vice president, head of supply chain, customer experience and re-commerce business at Flipkart.
Orders ordered before 1 p.m. will be delivered by midnight on the same day, according to the company’s statement, and the service will be offered to all consumers at no additional cost.
