As of June 30, there were as many as 626 Vishal Mega Mart stores across the country, along with a mobile app and website.

According to Reuters, 70 per cent of these stores are in smaller cities, where quick commerce was still in a nascent stage.

“While metros are seeing a decline in consumption due to inflation, tier 2 and tier 3 cities are seeing a rise in demand. Vishal, with most of its stores in smaller cities, stands to benefit from this,” Narendra Solanki of Anand Rathi Financial Services told the agency.
