MUMBAI: In a view to capture a large market share of the online grocery segment, leading e-commerce player Flipkart on Wednesday said it has launched its online grocery store Flipkart Supermart in the city.
It had done a soft launch in the city in February. It delivers to 91 pin codes in the city which covers 85-90 percent of the city.
The Walmart-owned company had started its online grocery business a year and a half ago and is present in Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Delhi.
It has set up a fulfillment centre in Bhiwandi for groceries. It offers 10,000 products, including 600 to 700 of its private labels.
Grocery, which is the biggest retail category in the country, is pegged at USD 400 billion with e-commerce accounting for 0.5 percent of it.
“Grocery is the space which is going to give the next level of e-commerce growth. However it is one of the toughest category from online perspective. We are cognizant of it. We built a dedicated supply chain for groceries,” Flipkart head of Grocery Manish Kumar told reporters here. (AGENCIES)
