BigBasket to introduce its 10-min food delivery service throughout India by March 2026
- BigBasket, owned by Tata Group, is set to launch 10-minute food delivery services across India by fiscal year 2026, venturing beyond groceries.
- The company's new service, piloted in Bengaluru, aims to expand to 40 dark stores by July, focusing on quick delivery of coffee, snacks, and meals in densely populated areas.
- Unlike competitors, BigBasket will offer a limited menu of Tata-affiliated brands, including Starbucks and Qmin, without external restaurant tie-ups.
- The company aims to combine food delivery with its existing online grocery experience, targeting new consumers and increasing snack orders with groceries.
- To support this expansion, BigBasket plans to increase its dark store count to 1,000-1,200 by the end of 2025, enhancing fulfillment and market presence in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities.
- Quick-commerce platforms in India are rapidly growing, leading to increased competition and experimentation in instant grocery and food orders.
- BigBasket, part of Tata Group, emphasizes utilizing internal capital for growth amid speculation of external funding rounds and aims to go public within the next 18-24 months.
- The shift in quick-commerce from groceries to food delivery is influenced by urban consumer behavior and the availability of efficient fulfillment infrastructure.
