The Haryana government has allotted 140 acres of land to e-commerce major Flipkart for setting up its largest fulfilment centre in Asia. The centre, with a covered area of 3 million sq ft, would be set up at Patli Hajipur in Gurugram district's Manesar town.

The approval came at a meeting of the Haryana Enterprise Promotion Board (HEPB) which met under the chairmanship of chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar this week. The land belongs to the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (HSIIDC), and was given to Flipkart subsidiary Instakart Services Pvt Ltd at a price of ₹3.22 crore per acre.

The Haryana government hopes this will boost market access opportunities for lakhs of MSMEs, sellers from Haryana and other parts of North India. About 6,000 direct and 12,000 indirect jobs will be created through this investment, an official release said.

Instakart is planning to set up a series of fulfilment centres and associated logistics infrastructure across India to enable its market growth. For this, the company wants to provide the best-in-class service to customers by establishing regional distribution centres (RDCs) across the country. Fulfilment centres are equipped with highly automated pick, pack, and shipping processes to facilitate safe and timely processing of orders.
