Reliance Retail enters the quick delivery industry, to rival Swiggy and Blinkit. (Image credit - JioMart) Reliance Retail is entering India’s fast-growing quick commerce market. The group is set to challenge existing players such as Zomato-owned Blinkit, Swiggy’s Instamart and Tata’s BigBasket. JioMart has already started offering quick delivery services in select parts of Navi Mumbai and Bengaluru. Experts believe JioMart is set to capture a significant share of the quick delivery market in no time. It appears Reliance is adopting a strategy similar to what Reliance Jio did in the telecom sector. JioMart is setting itself apart from its competitors by offering a no-fee delivery model. Here's what JioMart is doing differently - Free Delivery: No delivery charges, regardless of order size. No Platform or Surge Fees: Customers won't be charged extra during peak hours or for smaller orders. The no-fee approach would definitely be more appealing to price-conscious shoppers or even to people who order more than once times in a week. This will be a good strategy to establish itself in smaller towns and cities where such services are less common. The no-fee service could also draw in customers currently using Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart and BigBasket. All these platforms currently charge platform fees or delivery fees or sometimes both. Industry experts believe that the key part of Reliance Retail’s expansion plan is to focus on areas where quick commerce companies have limited or no presence. According to a report by the Times of India, the company aims to expand to smaller cities and towns covering 1150 cities and over 5000 pin codes across India. JioMart is aiming to gain a significant edge over competitors by targeting these under-served regions. There is an advantage that Reliance Retail has. It does not have to worry about investing in building new infrastructure such as dark stores or neighbourhood warehouses. The company will reportedly use its existing network of retail stores and leverage its logistics service Grab to handle fast deliveries. Reliance Retail also has plans to broaden its portfolio as they are preparing to deliver items such as fashion and small electronic products as well in quick delivery as well. The company already has a network of Reliance Digital and Trends stores to fulfil a wide variety of orders within 10 to 30 minutes. FAQs Q1.
