Amazon.com Inc.'s India division, Amazon India Ltd., is planning to expand its private label business in India by launching new brands in different new categories, India's Mint reported Feb. 14, citing an interview with Amazon India Vice President Manish Tiwary.

Amazon India is also mulling over launching a separate private label brand for certain large and smaller appliances, the report added, citing two Amazon executives who requested anonymity.
