Amazon, Flipkart Trigger Quick Commerce Price War as Blinkit, Instamart Stay Disciplined
Amazon and Flipkart have intensified India's quick commerce battle by offering deep discounts and aggressive promotions to gain market share. In contrast, market leaders Blinkit and Swiggy Instamart are resisting heavy discounting, prioritising profitability and sustainable growth over rapid customer acquisition. Industry executives believe the price war could accelerate consumer adoption but also pressure margins across the sector. The competition marks a new phase in India's fast-growing quick commerce market as global e-commerce giants challenge established players with aggressive pricing strategies.
