Flipkart Minutes Expands to Gurugram and NCR
Flipkart has launched its quick commerce service, Flipkart Minutes, in Gurugram and parts of the National Capital Region (NCR). This move marks the company’s continued expansion in the ultra-fast delivery market after a successful launch in Bengaluru. Users in prime locations like Unitech Cyber Park, Sector 39, Sector 40, The Millennium City Centre (Sector 29), and Golf Course Road (Sector 54) in Gurugram can now experience delivery speeds ranging from 8 to 16 minutes.
Flipkart has yet to make an official announcement about the service, but users across these areas have already started receiving notifications. According to sources, the service has also quietly gone live in some parts of Mumbai.

Flipkart’s foray into the quick commerce space puts it in direct competition with other leading players such as Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, and Zepto. The company already offers slot-based deliveries with Flipkart Grocery, but this new ultra-fast service aims to revolutionize convenience for its users. With companies like BigBasket and Amazon also entering the quick commerce race, the competition is heating up. BigBasket is transitioning entirely to the quick commerce model, and Amazon plans to introduce its version by early next year.

The quick commerce industry has seen a massive influx of funding and growth in recent years. Companies like Zepto have raised over $1 billion in just a few months and crossed the $5 billion valuation mark. Zepto is now gearing up for its IPO next year, while Blinkit (owned by Zomato) continues its rapid expansion into Tier-II cities, holding the largest market share in the space, according to a UBS report. Swiggy Instamart, another major player, has recently strengthened its leadership by appointing a new CEO and COO.
