Blinkit plans transition to inventory led model from September 1; pings sellers to switch

Blinkit is transitioning to an inventory-led model as planned after its parent Eternal became an Indian-owned and controlled company (IOCC) in April. The Gurugram-based quick commerce platform has asked its sellers to switch to a new system where the company will now buy the inventory from them, instead of just storing it in its warehouses for an email to sellers on Saturday, Blinkit said it will shift to a new model starting September 1. From that date, the platform will directly buy inventory from sellers and brands, instead of having them list products on the marketplace. Currently, Blinkit runs two models. In the marketplace model, sellers list their products and pay Blinkit to store them in its warehouses. In the second model, typically offered to larger and more well-renowned brands with high frequency purchases, select sellers buy products in bulk and sell them through the platform. With this change, Blinkit will now take over inventory buying itself and list the products directly. During the company's January-March quarter earnings, Eternal's chief financial officer Akshant Goyal had said that assuming Blinkit owned 100% of inventory in fiscal 2025, it would have ended up deploying less than Rs 1,000 crore in working capital. This accounts for 15 days of working capital, and about 3-4% of Blinkit's gross order value of Rs 28,274 crore in FY25. 'Last date to opt into the new system (is July 30). No new listings or inventory will be allowed after this date for non-accepted sellers,' Blinkit wrote in its email to the sellers. ET has seen a copy of this announcement.'(From August 31) Your inventory moves from your books to BCPL (Blinkit),' it adds. A founder at one of the brands that ET spoke with said that the change is expected to make processes less complex. 'Right now, whoever operates on the marketplace model has to add the Blinkit warehouses on their goods and services tax (GST) and FSSAI registrations (for food and beverage brands)...once Blinkit starts taking inventory through purchase orders, that hassle will go away since it will be treated like a sale and not a stock transfer,' he the sellers not willing to transition to the new model, Blinkit said in its email that it will return the inventory after deducting reverse logistics development was first reported by Eternal had first announced its plans to become an IOCC in April this year, after 51% of its shareholding became locally owned, analysts had said that the move will help the company have better control over inventory and margins particularly at a time when quick commerce companies are witnessing piling up of losses. Blinkit's rival, Zepto, has also been working to raise its domestic shareholding. Under India's foreign direct investment (FDI) rules, foreign-funded online marketplaces are not allowed to own inventory or control sellers on their platforms. Due to these restrictions, quick commerce platforms typically do not directly own the dark stores – micro-warehouses used for 10-minute deliveries – which are instead operated by separate entities.

India's biggest realty firm DLF Ltd has a strong launch pipeline of housing projects to meet "aspirational needs" of the market and the company remains on track to achieve outlined targets, its Chairman Rajiv Singh said. In a letter to shareholders in its latest annual report, he said the company's annuity business, which is leasing of commercial spaces on rent, has been growing steadily. "The country's long-term prospects are bolstered by its growing demographic and economic fundamentals, coupled with ongoing structural reforms," Singh observed. During the 2024-25 fiscal year, Singh highlighted that the company's both residential and rental businesses "experienced robust growth, driven by exceptional performance and timely execution". He said the company's two residential projects, 'The Dahlias' and 'Privana', at Gurugram received an enthusiastic response. DLF Chairman said the company's sales bookings and collections from customers have risen to a record level in the last fiscal year. "We have a strong launch pipeline to meet the aspirational needs of the market; we remain on track to deliver on our outlined goals," Singh said. DLF plans to launch housing properties worth over Rs 17,000 crore this fiscal year to capitalise on the strong demand for luxury homes. The company launched 7.5 million sq ft area during the last fiscal year for sale with an estimated revenue potential of Rs 40,600 crore. Singh said the rental business comprising of offices, retail and hospitality projects continues to grow steadily. "We continue to invest in capex for our new build-outs in Gurugram, Chennai, Delhi, and Goa," he said. The chairman said three retail properties are set to open to the public in the near future. "As we pursue growth, we continue to remain guided by our core values of good corporate governance, transparency, compliances, safety, quality and customer satisfaction," Singh assured the shareholders. The company, he said, is committed to inclusive growth, by cultivating trust, empathy, and a culture of continuous learning. "We have strengthened all teams and built the resilience needed for sustained growth. Our aim is to create long-term, sustainable value for all stakeholders," Singh told shareholders. DLF is India's largest real estate firm in terms of market capitalisation. The company's consolidated net profit rose to Rs 4,366.82 crore during the 2024-25 fiscal from Rs 2,723.53 crore in the preceding year.

Since its inception, DLF has developed more than 185 real estate projects and developed an area of more than 352 million sq ft. DLF Group has 280 million sq ft of development potential across residential and commercial segments, including current projects under execution and the identified pipeline. The group has an annuity portfolio of over 45 million sq ft.
