Retail India News: Amazon India Expands Operations to Strengthen Festive Season Deliveries - Indian Retailer

Amazon is significantly expanding its quick commerce footprint in India with the wider rollout of its 10-minute delivery service, Amazon Now. The service, which was earlier limited to a few major cities, is now being extended to 100 cities across the country as part of the company’s aggressive push into ultra-fast delivery.

Amazon Now operates through a network of micro-fulfilment centres (MFCs) located within local neighbourhoods. These compact warehouses are designed to store high-demand everyday items such as groceries, personal care essentials, fashion accessories, beauty products, and small household appliances, enabling rapid order processing and delivery.

With this expansion, Amazon is increasing its infrastructure by setting up around 1,000 micro-fulfilment centres to support faster logistics and wider coverage. The company also claims that this move will benefit over 16,000 farmers by helping them reach customers directly through sellers on its platform, strengthening its supply chain ecosystem.

The service will now be available in cities such as Kochi, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Jaipur, Lucknow, and Ahmedabad, in addition to existing metro regions like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru. Users can access the feature through the Amazon app by looking for the “Now” icon, which indicates availability in their area, positioning Amazon in stronger competition with players like Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, and Zepto.

Xbox mode is rolling out to all Windows 11 PCs next month — and some gamers are excited, while others are worried | TechRadar

Microsoft has begun rolling out its new Xbox mode for Windows 11 PCs in select markets, aiming to deliver a more console-like gaming experience across desktops, laptops, and tablets. This new interface is designed to feel closer to using an Xbox, making navigation smoother and more intuitive for gamers who prefer controllers over traditional keyboard and mouse setups.

The feature originally appeared as a full-screen Xbox experience on the ROG Xbox Ally handheld devices, and it has now been adapted for broader Windows 11 use. Xbox mode brings together game libraries from services like Xbox Game Pass, Steam, and other platforms, allowing users to access their games from one centralized interface.

First announced in March, the feature was expected to arrive in April and officially started reaching some users on April 30. For now, availability is limited to certain regions, but Microsoft plans to expand access gradually over the coming weeks as part of a phased rollout.

Users who want to try Xbox mode should ensure their system is set to receive the latest updates. This can be done by enabling automatic updates in Windows 11 through the Settings menu under Windows Update and toggling the option to receive updates as soon as they become available.
