According to an official statement from the Delhi Lieutenant Governor office, it is said that Amazon India is one of the entities among the 314 applicants that have been granted permission to operate 24/7 in the national capital and a notification to this effect will be issued within a week.

"Amazon India is one of the applicants whose application has been approved to operate and carry on with their business on a 24/7 basis in the national capital. The LG has ordered that such applications be disposed of within a strict timeline to foster an investor ad business-friendly environment in Delhi," said the statement.

As per reports, the application was submitted by the company around three years back. This approval will allow round-the-clock delivery of products by Amazon in Delhi.
