Chinhat and Aminabad: Instamart's patch
Instamart has a store and Blinkit has none in 5 Lucknow areas. Chinhat, with more than one Instamart store, and Aminabad are the main ones, so homes there should open Instamart first. In Jankipuram the two apps are level, and everywhere else Blinkit is ahead or alone.
Instamart's higher bar for free delivery
Instamart waives delivery from ₹299; Blinkit from ₹199. In a city where Instamart already has fewer stores, that higher threshold makes it a harder sell unless you hold Swiggy One, which lowers it for members.
