Flipkart's quick‑commerce unit handles up to 1.2 million orders daily, closing in on rivals

Flipkart’s quick‑commerce division has begun handling between 1.1 million and 1.2 million orders each day, a volume that is almost three times the level recorded in November. The surge reflects the rapid scaling of the platform’s ultra‑fast delivery service, which targets delivery within minutes to a few hours.

The increase follows a concerted expansion of the venture’s logistics network, including the addition of new fulfillment hubs and a larger fleet of delivery personnel across major Indian cities. By the end of the month, the daily order count rose from roughly 400,000 in November to the current range, indicating a sustained uptick in consumer demand for rapid‑delivery options. The growth aligns with broader trends in the Indian e‑commerce sector, where quick‑commerce models are gaining market share.

Analysts note that the heightened order flow positions Flipkart’s quick‑commerce arm as a significant player in the fast‑delivery segment, potentially influencing competitive dynamics and future investments in the space. The company is expected to continue expanding its infrastructure to support the higher volume and maintain service speed.
