India's leading quick commerce platform, Blinkit, received a Rs 1,500 crore investment from parent company Zomato, totaling Rs 4,300 crore since its acquisition in August 2022. This infusion aids Blinkit's financial losses amid aggressive expansion and competition. Despite operational revenue covering needs, expansion costs cause high cash burn. Blinkit targets 2,000 dark stores by December 2025, ahead of competition like Swiggy and Zepto. Rapid expansion in the sector intensifies cash burn and financial losses for companies.

Zomato shares fell nearly 5% after Jefferies downgraded them to "hold" from "buy," cutting the target price to Rs 275 due to concerns over rising competition in the quick commerce sector. Rivals like Swiggy’s Instamart and Amazon threaten Zomato's profitability, leading Jefferies to lower earnings forecasts, EBITDA estimates, and EPS projections for Blinkit and Zomato. Despite Zomato's strong past performance, the competitive landscape poses risks to medium-term profitability.
