Walmart India on Monday extended the reach of its online wholesale platform, www.bestprice.in, to its members in Rajahmundry in Andhra Pradesh.

"Walmart India today (Dec 1) launched the B2B e-commerce platform for all its members of Best Price Modern Wholesale store in Rajahmundry," the company said in a statement.

With the launch in Rajahmundry, Walmart India successfully extends e-commerce to all the Best Price stores in Andhra Pradesh, the company added.

At present, the US-based retail giant operates B2B e-commerce platform in four cities in the country - Lucknow, Hyderabad, Guntur and Vijayawada.

"We have received an overwhelming response from our members in Lucknow, Hyderabad, Guntur and Vijayawada and we are certain that members in Rajahmundry too would benefit significantly," Walmart India President and Chief Executive Officer Krish Iyer said.

The platform is for registered members of Best Price Modern Wholesale stores.

At present, the US retail giant is engaged in cash-and-carry business in the country. It called off a six-year partnership with Bharti Enterprises in October 2013.

Walmart operates 20 wholesale stores under the brand 'Best Price' in the country.
