Zomato flags rising competition in quick-commerce: How will it impact Blinkit’s quest for profitability?

Zomato Q4 Results: Zomato, now known as Eternal, on Thursday, May 1, posted a sharp decline of 78% year-on-year (YoY) in its January-March quarter of the financial year 2024-25 (FY25) to 39 crore, largely on account of the accelerated investments in its quick-commerce business Blinkit.

Blinkit’s adjusted EBITDA losses increased to 178 crore from 103 crore in the previous quarter, which Eternal said “was expected and in line with our plan to pull-forward expansion of our store network”.

While the company added 294 net new stores in Q4FY25, making it its highest-ever net store addition in a single quarter, and saw average monthly transacting customers increasing to 13.7 million in Q4FY25 from 10.6 million in Q3FY25, it flagged rising competition in the quick commerce business.
