Growth strategy
Blinkit's expansion plans and market position
Blinkit is on an aggressive expansion spree, with plans to expand its dark store network to 3,000 micro-warehouses by March 2027. As of December 31, the company had already established 2,027 stores. According to BofA Research, Blinkit commands more than 50% market share in quick commerce, outpacing competitors such as Zepto and Swiggy's Instamart.
Figures
Blinkit surpasses Zomato in net order value
In February, Dhindsa took over as the Managing Director and CEO of Eternal, the parent company of Zomato and Blinkit. This move has further strengthened Blinkit's position in the market. The company's net order value now surpasses that of Eternal's food delivery business, making it a major player in the quick commerce sector.
