Swiggy Instamart is experimenting with physical retail, signalling a potential move beyond its quick-commerce delivery model. The supplied report provides no details on locations, format, rollout scale, investment or timeline.

Why this matters

The physical-retail experiment follows Swiggy Instamart reaching 100 cities after adding 32 markets in March 2025, while a separate signal says the store test resurfaced months after it began.

Omni-channel is steady, with 1,792 signals recorded in the past 90 days.
