New Delhi: Amazon.com Inc’s India unit on Tuesday said it will temporarily stop taking orders for non-essential products and disable their deliveries.
This is an attempt to fulfil critical needs of its customers at a time when much of the country is under lockdown to prevent the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
Amazon will prioritise the sale and delivery of household staples, packaged foods, healthcare, hygiene and personal safety products, the company said in a blog post, news agency Reuters reported.
The US-based Amazon’s move comes at a time when the lockdown in India has disrupted deliveries by e-commerce firms and online grocers.
