Wait for e-grocery delivery gets longer as orders rise

Large e-tailers such as Amazon, Flipkart, BigBasket and Grofers are taking time to deliver products across pin codes, especially in regions hit hardest by the second Covid-19 wave, amid surging demand for online groceries.

Customers shopping on these platforms are witnessing delivery timelines of 3-7 days, primarily because of a jump in the quantum of orders and lack of supply chain staff.
