Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (RRVL) yesterday said that its digital commerce arm, JioMart, has expanded “quick” deliveries to more than 1,000 cities.
In a statement alongside its Q2 FY26 results, RRVL said that its “quick” delivery operations, in total, now span over 5,000 pincodes. Unlike rivals like Blinkit, Instamart and Zepto that deliver within 10 minutes, JioMart’s take on quick commerce is orders delivered under 30 minutes.
“JioMart continued to operate as the fastest-growing quick hyper-local commerce platform, with operations extending across 5,000 pin codes and serviced by over 3,000 stores in more than 1,000 cities,” said RRVL in a statement.
On the back of this, the conglomerate said that JioMart clocked 42% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) and 200%+ YoY growth in average daily orders for its 30-minute delivery service.
Overall, JioMart claims to have added 58 Lakh new customers, up 120% QoQ, in Q2 FY26, while the platform’s seller base grew 20% YoY during the quarter under review.
Meanwhile, the retail juggernaut said that its recently launched four-hour online apparel delivery service, AJIO Rush, is now live in 300 pincodes. “AJIO Rush gained significant traction and was live in over 300 pin codes across the top 6 cities,” added the company.
It is pertinent to note that AJIO Rush was launched in six cities in the first quarter of FY26.
Meanwhile, the Reliance-backed retail juggernaut said that the quick apparel service achieved higher average selling price, lower returns and better conversion rates compared to average AJIO orders.
“Compared to the platform average, the service achieved superior results, including a 16% higher average selling price (ASP), 17% better conversion rates, and 500 basis points lower sales returns,” said RRVL in a statement.
Meanwhile, Shein, relaunched in India by Reliance earlier this year, surpassed 6 Mn app downloads, clocked 11.4 Mn monthly active users (MAU), and expanded to more than 25,000 options at the end of Q2 FY26.
“Reliance Retail delivered strong performance during the quarter led by our relentless focus on operational excellence, investments in stores and digital platforms and festive buying across consumption baskets. GST rate changes will further accelerate consumption growth as consumers get the benefit of lower prices…,” said RRVL executive director Isha Ambani.
Overall, Reliance Retail’s net profit jumped 21.9% to INR 3,457 Cr in Q2 FY26 from INR 2,836 Cr in the year ago quarter. Revenue from operations also rose 19% to INR 79,128 Cr in the quarter under review compared to INR 66,502 Cr in Q2 FY25.
On the other hand, it was a mixed quarter for Reliance Industries Ltd’s (RIL’s) digital streaming business. JioHotstar averaged nearly 40 Cr monthly active users in Q2 FY26 compared to an average of 46 Cr MAUs in the preceding quarter. This had largely to do with the post-IPL slowdown seen by the OTT platform.
Meanwhile, RIL’s digital arm Jio Platforms’ consolidated net profit jumped 13% to INR 7,379 Cr in Q2 FY26 from INR 6,539 Cr in the year-ago quarter. Operating revenue rose 15% to INR 36,332 Cr during the quarter under review from INR 31,709 Cr in Q2 FY25.
Overall, RIL’s gross revenue rose 10% YoY to INR 2.83 Lakh Cr, while net profit soared 16% YoY to INR 22,146 Cr during the quarter under review.
Shares of RIL ended today’s trading session 1.35% higher at INR 1,416.95 on the BSE.
