Amazon Fresh is expanding into India, with the online grocery business initially available to customers in parts of Bengaluru. The company said it will now be offering its Prime Now service across India and plans to expand that offer later this year. Amazon has sunk about $5bn in India in the past five years and is believed to have plans for another $2bn of investment. It recently opened a campus in Hyderabad with 15,000 employees, its biggest in the world. However, a new e-commerce law banning companies from selling products made by businesses in which they have a stake risks limiting growth.
