Tata-owned BigBasket is expanding offline retail through self-service and large-format stores to build an omnichannel grocery presence, widen its India customer base and counter intensifying competition. The company retains online focus, with physical stores carrying about one-tenth of online SKUs.

Why this matters

BigBasket’s move follows recent signals on its broader India expansion and the resurfacing of its early-2023 Hyderabad pilot, indicating a shift from a local test toward a wider omnichannel footprint.
