Walmart-backed Flipkart is rapidly expanding its quick-commerce service, Flipkart Minutes, positioning itself as a major contender in India’s booming instant-delivery market. Handling over one million daily orders, the two-year-old service is closing the gap with established players like Swiggy’s Instamart, driven by a massive rollout of micro-fulfillment centers.
This aggressive infrastructure expansion mirrors similar moves by global rival Amazon, as both e-commerce giants race to capture consumer demand for ultra-fast delivery. With repeat customer rates surging and average delivery times dropping to around 11 minutes, instant delivery has firmly cemented itself as the future of online retail.
- Flipkart Minutes reaches 1.1 to 1.2 million daily orders in India
- The service rapidly closes the gap with established leader Instamart
- Over 1,000 micro-fulfillment centers now power the delivery network
- Amazon simultaneously ramps up its competing quick-commerce operations
