Expanding its quick commerce footprint, Zomato-owned Blinkit will now deliver Apple products, including iPhone, MacBook Air, iPad, AirPods and Apple Watch among others within 10 minutes.

Taking to LinkedIn, Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa said that this service is active in select cities including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Chennai, Jaipur, Bengaluru and Kolkata.

The development comes when earlier this week, Zomato infused INR 1,500 Cr in Blinkit to double down on the number of dark stores to 2,000 by December.

Additionally, Blinkit has also been bullish on selling electronic products via its platform lately. Last month, the platform rolled out delivery for electronics products like laptops, monitors and printers. Back then, it partnered with Lenovo, Zebronics, MSI, HP and Canon to sell their products.

Earlier in 2024, the platform started delivering electronics in early 2024, with smartphones from Samsung and Apple in under 10 minutes across Delhi-NCR, Mumbai and Bengaluru, among other cities.

Later in September, Blinkit launched a 10-minute delivery service for Iphone 16. Back then, it collaborated with Unicorn Infosolutions, which also offers discounts with select credit cards, along with EMI options.

Not just electronics, Blinkit has been trying to expand its quick commerce portfolio with several new products and services. Earlier this year, it piloted a 10-minute ambulance service in Gurugram, with aim to expand it in the major cities within the next two years.

In December 2024, Blinkit also entered the quick food delivery segment with the launch of Bistro. Earlier to this, the platform launched large order fleets and ‘Blinkit Seller Hub’, which allows sellers to list themselves on the platform.

Besides the quick commerce wave in the country, Apple is also expanding its footprint in India. Last week, Apple said that it is assembling its newly launched iPhone 16e in India through local contract manufacturers.

In 2024, the tech giant surpassed INR 1 lakh Cr mark in iPhone exports from India, with total shipments reaching a record $12.8 Bn (around INR 1.08 Lakh Cr).

Last month, Apple also rolled out the Apple Store app in India as it looks to ramp up its retail presence in the country.
