Flipkart says West Bengal to remain key investment hub as it expands biz

Flipkart on Monday said it would deepen its long-term investments in West Bengal, expanding its supply chain infrastructure, seller ecosystem and skills initiatives in the state, which houses the company's largest fulfilment centre in India. The Walmart-owned e-commerce company said West Bengal is home to its largest fulfilment and logistics hub, located at Haringhata, and remains central to its long-term growth strategy. The Haringhata campus has a storage capacity of 5 million cubic feet across six mezzanine levels and features automated storage and retrieval systems, robotic packaging arms, cross-belt sorters and a nine-kilometre conveyor network. Flipkart said the facility is the first e-commerce fulfilment centre of its scale in India to receive the Indian Green Building Council's Platinum certification. Across West Bengal, the company operates more than 300 fulfilment centres, mother hubs and last-mile delivery facilities, supporting more than 120,000 direct and indirect jobs

Flipkart extends Indian ecommerce lead, Myntra widens lead in fashion: BofA

Flipkart Group has widened its lead in India's e-commerce market and strengthened its dominance in online fashion through Myntra, according to a Bank of America Securities report that points to resilient consumer demand despite intense competition across the internet sector. The brokerage, citing Sensor Tower daily active user (DAU) data and industry checks, said Flipkart remained the leading e-commerce platform by user engagement as of June 2026, while Myntra continued to pull ahead of rivals in fashion. The findings suggest that competitive pressures in India's online retail market have yet to dent Flipkart's market position, even as rivals continue to invest heavily to gain share. BofA said Myntra's leadership in fashion appears to be deepening, aided by relatively limited competition in premium fashion and beauty categories. The brokerage noted that several competitors had sought to position themselves as credible challengers, but user engagement trends indicate Myntra continue
