Flipkart gets 140 acres in Manesar

Chandigarh, April 6

In view of the increasing demand of warehousing, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today approved the allotment of 140 acres in Manesar to Flipkart for setting up its largest fulfilling centre in Asia.

The approval was granted at the meeting of the Haryana Enterprise Promotion Board presided over by Khattar here.

During the meeting, the CM was apprised that the land, belonging to the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited, allotted at a price of Rs 3.22 crore per acre to Instakart Services Private Limited, a Flipkart group company, would not only give impetus to investment, but would boost market access opportunities for MSMEs.

The fulfillment centre will cater to parcel goods, white goods and furniture. About 6,000 direct and 12,000 indirect jobs will be created through this investment. — TNS
