Reliance has quietly pulled off something big. Very big. JioMart is now processing 16 lakh orders every single day, officially making it India’s second-largest quick commerce platform by order volume. That’s not incremental growth — it’s explosive. With a massive year-on-year jump and a strong quarter-on-quarter surge, Reliance has clearly cracked the quick commerce code, and the rest of the market should be paying close attention.
JioMart Becomes The Second-Largest Quick Commerce Player In India
Reliance Industries’ Q3 FY26 investor presentation revealed that JioMart clocks a daily order run rate of 1.6 million by the end of December 2025. This is a significant achievement, as the brand marked a sharp 53% quarter-on-quarter jump and over 360% year-on-year growth in average daily orders.
Here’s how the top players stack up. In comparison, Blinkit averaged around 2.4 million daily orders in the July–September quarter, while Swiggy Instamart handled about 1.1 million.
Reliance said JioMart is now India’s second-largest quick commerce player by order volume, trailing only Blinkit based on these numbers.
Customer Numbers Are Exploding
During the quarter, the company added 5.9 million new customers, with its overall customer base expanding 43% year-on-year. So far, the company’s registered customer base has expanded to 378 million.
And it’s easy to see why. JioMart now operates across more than 5,000 PIN codes, supported by over 3,000 stores in more than 1,000 cities. That’s a level of reach most quick commerce players can only aspire to right now.
JioMart Claims Transaction Frequency Twice That Of Competitors
This part is interesting. Reliance claimed that transaction frequency on its digital platforms is roughly twice that of competitors, while declining to disclose exact figures.
In simple terms, JioMart users are ordering far more frequently than users on rival apps. That kind of repeat behaviour is gold in the quick commerce business.
The Store Network Makes All The Difference
In the meantime, Reliance continues to add dark stores and deepen its catalogue, which helped push order volumes during the quarter.
The company’s quick commerce operations are closely integrated with its wider retail network of 19,979 stores across formats, which serve as fulfilment points for hyperlocal deliveries. This setup has helped bring down the average distance per order, a critical cost factor in last-mile delivery, according to the company.
Most competitors are building dark stores from scratch. Reliance already has nearly 20,000 stores in place — it simply converts them. That’s a massive structural cost advantage.
What About Reliance’s Overall Business?
This update coincides with Reliance’s third-quarter results. The company reported a marginal 0.56% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to ₹18,645 crore, attributable to shareholders, while revenue from operations grew 11% to ₹2.69 lakh crore.
Reliance Retail’s quarterly gross revenue stood at ₹97,605 crore, up nearly 8% year-on-year, driven by festive demand, network expansion, and rising digital adoption.
During the December quarter, JioMart reported steady performance led by grocery, digital commerce, and consumer electronics, even as margins moderated compared with last year.
Conclusion
Reliance doesn’t think small, and JioMart’s numbers prove it. Scaling to 16 lakh daily orders in such a short span is no ordinary achievement. More importantly, the claim of double the transaction frequency suggests JioMart isn’t just acquiring users — it’s retaining them.
Quick commerce is still a cash-burning battlefield. Everyone knows that. But JioMart has one clear edge: Reliance’s deep pockets and a massive existing retail footprint. While others fight for survival, Reliance has the luxury of playing the long game — and that could change the competitive landscape faster than anyone expects.
