"Flipkart has now crossed more than 800 dark stores this week and is looking to double that by the end of 2026, according to UBS. The expansion comes as India's quick commerce sector enters a more intense phase of competition."
"More than 6,000 dark stores are now in operation, leading to significant overlap among players in major cities and intensifying competition, Bernstein said in a report earlier this week."
"Flipkart is already seeing traction beyond major cities, with 25-30% of its quick commerce orders now coming from small towns, a source familiar with the matter told TechCrunch."
India's quick commerce market is experiencing significant growth, with demand doubling for some players. Flipkart has entered this space later than rivals but is rapidly expanding its dark store network, aiming to double its stores by 2026. The competition is intensifying, leading to strategic reassessments among companies. Flipkart's approach includes expanding beyond major cities, with a notable percentage of orders coming from smaller towns. This strategy contrasts with competitors like Blinkit, which focuses on major urban areas.
