Blinkit launches 10-minute Apple product delivery in India

Blinkit, owned by Zomato, has introduced a new service to deliver Apple products, such as iPhones, MacBook Airs, iPads, AirPods, and Apple Watches, within 10 minutes.

This service is currently available in select cities in India, including Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Hyderabad.

This move highlights Blinkit’s continued growth in the electronics sector. It follows previous launches of rapid delivery services for laptops, monitors, and printers through partnerships with brands like Lenovo and HP.

On the Apple side, the company has been intensifying its efforts in India, with the local production of the iPhone 16e and achieving record exports of 1 lakh crore rupee (US11.43 billion) in 2024.

Apple has also bolstered its retail presence with the launch of the Apple Store app for the Indian market.
