Flipkart, Amazon Ramp Up Dark Stores, Intensifying India's Quick Commerce Battle
•Flipkart Minutes and Amazon Now are aggressively expanding their dark store networks in India, challenging established quick commerce players.
•Flipkart Minutes, launched August 2024, adds 100 dark stores monthly, aiming for 1,200 by June, matching Zepto and Instamart's scale.
•Amazon Now is adding about two dark stores daily, targeting 500 soon, and processes 300,000-350,000 daily orders.
•The expansion targets deeper penetration in urban centers and new tier-II/III cities, crucial for Flipkart's potential IPO and capturing high-frequency categories.
•Blinkit remains the market leader with 2,100 dark stores, planning 3,000 by March 2027, as competition intensifies through 2026.
