Walmart-backed Flipkart expands quick-commerce push as Amazon ramps up in India
Flipkart is rapidly expanding its 'Minutes' quick-commerce service in India, aiming to reach 1,500 micro-fulfillment centers by 2026. This move intensifies competition with Amazon and local rivals like Blinkit and Zepto in the fast-growing instant delivery market.
Why it matters
The rapid buildout of micro-fulfillment infrastructure is reshaping consumer logistics and retail competition in one of the world's largest emerging markets.
As quick commerce becomes India s next e-commerce battleground , Walmart-backed Flipkart said Wednesday that its Minutes service has built a network of 1,000 micro-fulfillment centers — small, strategically located warehouses designed to enable deliveries in minutes — less than two years after launch, a milestone Amazon is also targeting as it expands its fast-delivery business in the South Asian nation.
The report provides a balanced overview of market competition and corporate strategy without taking sides.
