Orders per store per day is an outside estimate, not a company figure. It shows how busy each store is, not how many people use the app.

How many products Blinkit sells

In April–June 2026 Blinkit stocked close to 80,000 products in Delhi-NCR, about 50,000 in its next seven cities and about 20,000 elsewhere. Smaller cities get a smaller range.
The average Blinkit order was worth ₹518 in April–June 2026, against ₹521 a year earlier. About 90% of order value now comes from stock Blinkit owns, up from about 3% in July 2025.

How many new stores Blinkit plans to open

In October 2025 Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa set a target of 3,000 dark stores by March 2027, with 70–75% of new stores in the top 10 cities.
Eternal plans to spend about ₹3,000 crore over four years on 19 million sq ft of stores and warehouses in more than 300 cities. A new store now costs about ₹2.5 crore, up from about ₹1 crore a year earlier.

Targets are plans, not promises. The city store counts include only stores that have actually opened.

Blinkit services beyond groceries

Beyond groceries, Blinkit runs an ambulance service in Gurugram and parts of Delhi, the separate Bistro food app and an Apple and electronics range. Since June 2025 Bistro has added a ₹5 convenience fee that shows only at checkout.
