Flipkart to reach 1,000 dark store count by March-April 2026

Flipkart Minutes, the quick commerce arm of the Walmart-owned e-commerce giant, aims to double its dark store network to 1,000 by March-April 2026, according to Hemant Badri – SVP and Head of Supply Chain, Customer Experience & Re-Commerce, Flipkart Group. The aggressive roadmap follows a year where the platform fell short of its initial projections, ending 2025 with just over 500 operational dark stores against a target of 800.
