Flipkart starts hyperlocal service ‘Flipkart Quick’, to expand to 6 cities by year-end

Walmart-owned Flipkart on Tuesday announced 90-minute delivery for groceries as it looked to take on Amazon.com and billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s upstart JioMart in the fast-growing Indian market.

The hyperlocal delivery service ‘Flipkart Quick’, which will also offer 90-minute deliveries of fresh vegetables, meat, and mobile phones, will initially be available at select locations in Bengaluru and would be gradually scaled up and expanded to six large cities by the end of the year, Flipkart Vice-President Sandeep Karwa told PTI.

India’s USD 950 billion retail market is predicted to grow to USD 1.3 trillion by FY26.
