# Quick-commerce firms explore 30-minute delivery of large appliances 2026-08-15T08:51:25+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Swiggy Instamart, Eternal’s Blinkit and other quick-commerce firms are discussing large-appliance deliveries with manufacturers, The Economic Times reports. Refrigerators, televisions, washing machines and microwave ovens could be delivered faster, though installation remains a key hurdle. Flipkart has tested two-hour delivery for large appliances in about a dozen cities, with installation included in some cases. Amazon and JioMart are also working to reduce delivery times. Companies are considering manufacturers’ warehouses and retail stores instead of dedicated dark stores, which could widen product choice and control property costs. Earlier attempts had limited success, including Blinkit’s 10-minute Lloyd air-conditioner service in Delhi-NCR. Quick-commerce firms are seeking larger orders and better margins beyond FMCG, where they account for 7-8% of sales at many large companies. ## Coverage - retail.economictimes.indiatimes.com Tags: Amazon, Blinkit, Flipkart, JioMart, LG Electronics, Swiggy Instamart Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/quick-commerce-firms-explore-30-minute-delivery-of-large-appliances/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
