BigBasket to halve footprint to 40 cities in profitability push amid mounting FY25 losses

Under new CEO Amit Nanda, Tata-owned BigBasket is retreating from 76 to 40 markets and pruning ~1,000 stores as FY25 net loss widens 42% to ₹2,006.8 Cr and revenue slips 2%. The pivot follows Tata's tighter capital discipline and fierce quick-commerce pressure from Blinkit, Zepto and Instamart.
