Flipkart, Spencer’s to pilot hyperlocal grocery delivery

NEW DELHI : Flipkart on Thursday said it will soon commence a pilot of hyperlocal delivery of groceries and essentials in Hyderabad along with Spencers in yet another tie-up that will see online retailers use their fleets to ensure delivery of essentials.

Consumers will be able to order groceries and essentials starting this month from the “Spencers store” on the Flipkart app. The app will host combo-packs that will club a few essential items that shoppers can order. Flipkart delivery executives will be able to collect orders from a select group of Spencers stores in the city and deliver them to shoppers.

“This hyperlocal approach is in line with ecosystem collaborations Flipkart is making to serve consumers in the best possible way during this unprecedented crisis,” the company said in a press statement on Thursday.
