Blinkit's parent firm Zomato posted its first quarter results earlier this month. Zomato’s net profit had multiplied 126 times to ₹253 crore, beating estimates. The results also showed quick-commerce arm Blinkit's revenue shooting up to ₹942 crore, up from ₹769 crore in the quarter ended March, with an EBIT of ₹43 crore. The company said Blinkit aims to get to 2,000 stores, latest by the end of 2026 while remaining profitable.

Zomato decided to invest ₹300 crore in Blinkit amidst rising competition in the quick commerce sector, reports said in June. This investment was aimed at strengthening Blinkit’s position in the market against rivals like Swiggy and Zepto.

Price Action: Zomato’s share prices were up 0.85% at ₹267.86 on Friday afternoon.
