The initiative, which follows a successful pilot in Bengaluru<\/a>, will see BigBasket taking direct aim at established food delivery giants <\/span>Zomato<\/strong><\/a> and <\/span>Swiggy<\/strong><\/a>, as well as quick-commerce disruptors like <\/span>Blinkit<\/strong><\/a> and <\/span>Zepto<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n BigBasket to launch 10-minute food delivery across India by FY26.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Targeting users of Swiggy, Zomato, and new snack\/meal consumers.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Will expand dark stores from 700 to over 1,000 by 2025.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Exclusively offers food from Tata brands like Starbucks and Qmin.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Pilot in Bengaluru already shows promising customer adoption.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n No external restaurant partnerships planned at this stage.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Not seeking outside funding; Tata Group provides internal capital.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n IPO expected within the next 18 to 24 months.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The decision to expand into ultra-fast food delivery marks a <\/span>strategic pivot for BigBasket<\/a>, known primarily for groceries and fresh produce. Co-founder <\/span>Vipul Parekh<\/strong><\/a>, speaking to Reuters<\/strong><\/a>, confirmed the company\u2019s vision to meet existing customer demands while also <\/span>unlocking a new consumer segment that craves fast, reliable access to snacks and ready-to-eat meals.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n BigBasket will rely on its growing network of <\/span>dark stores\u2014small, hyperlocal fulfilment centers optimized for speed. The current count of <\/span>700 dark stores is expected to increase to between <\/span>1,000 and 1,200 by the end of 2025, ensuring sufficient coverage for rapid delivery in key metro areas.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n During the ongoing pilot in <\/span>Bengaluru, the company is already seeing signs of customer engagement. Around <\/span>5\u201310% of existing users are blending their grocery and fast-food orders, and this number is anticipated to rise steadily.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n By <\/span>July 2025, BigBasket plans to have at least <\/span>40 dark stores offering the 10-minute delivery feature.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Unlike its competitors that aggregate menus from third-party restaurants, BigBasket\u2019s offering will remain <\/span>exclusive to Tata Group<\/a>-owned brands. This includes popular names like <\/span>Starbucks and <\/span>Qmin, the gourmet food vertical of Indian Hotels. This move gives BigBasket a <\/span>unique brand synergy and quality control advantage while keeping operations tightly integrated within the Tata ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n There are <\/span>no immediate plans to onboard third-party restaurant partners.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n India\u2019s <\/span>quick commerce sector, currently worth <\/span>$7.1 billion (approx. \u20b960,700 crore), is one of the fastest-growing segments of the digital economy. BigBasket will be entering a market already crowded with innovations:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Blinkit<\/a> has launched <\/span>Bistro<\/span>, expanding into ready-to-eat meals.<\/span><\/p>\n Zepto<\/a> is pushing its <\/span>Zepto Cafe<\/span> concept.<\/span><\/p>\n Swiggy<\/a> has launched <\/span>Snacc<\/span> for fast snacking options.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Yet BigBasket\u2019s edge lies in its <\/span>grocery-first DNA, existing logistics infrastructure, and the backing of a <\/span>powerful corporate conglomerate in Tata Group.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Addressing speculation around funding, Parekh clarified that BigBasket is <\/span>not seeking external capital at this point. \u201cBeing part of the Tata Group gives us access to internal capital, which puts us in a strong position,\u201d he explained.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This approach allows BigBasket to scale efficiently without the pressure of venture funding, giving it more room for experimentation and long-term planning.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n BigBasket also reaffirmed its <\/span>IPO plans, with a <\/span>public listing likely within 18\u201324 months. The timing aligns with its broader growth trajectory, including the rollout of the 10-minute food delivery service. A successful IPO could further consolidate its position in India\u2019s online commerce ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n With its 10-minute food delivery plan, <\/span>BigBasket is not just expanding its services\u2014it\u2019s redefining its identity in a space long dominated by Zomato, Swiggy, and emerging players like Blinkit and Zepto. By leveraging Tata\u2019s brand power, an expanding logistics network, and an exclusive food lineup, BigBasket is positioning itself as a serious contender in India\u2019s <\/span>quick commerce revolution.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n As the rollout begins and competition intensifies, all eyes will be on how BigBasket scales this model while retaining its core grocery customers. The <\/span>next two years could be transformative\u2014not just for BigBasket, but for the entire Indian online food and grocery market.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Latest Technology News | Updates<\/a> | Latest Electric Vehicle News | Updates<\/a> | Electronics News<\/a> | Mobile News | Updates<\/a> | Software Updates<\/a><\/p>\n \n Facebook<\/a> | Twitter<\/a> | WhatsApp Channel<\/a> | Instagram<\/a> | Telegram<\/a> | Threads<\/a> | LinkedIn<\/a> | YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Stay informed, Stay Connected!<\/p>\n The post Tata\u2019s BigBasket to Roll Out 10-Minute Food Delivery Across India by FY26, Set to Disrupt Swiggy, Zomato & Zepto<\/a> appeared first on Before You Take<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 India\u2019s quick commerce landscape is heating up once again as Tata Group-backed BigBasket prepares to launch a nationwide 10-minute food delivery service by fiscal year 2026.
