Eternal Q2 Profit Rises 92% on Revenue Growth, Blinkit Expands Store Network

Analysed 21 Oct 2026·19 sources analysed·Mumbai, India·Business
Eternal Q2 Profit Rises 92% on Revenue Growth, Blinkit Expands Store NetworkPreviousNext

Eternal Ltd, parent of Zomato and Blinkit, reported a 92% year-on-year rise in Q2 FY27 net profit to Rs 125 crore, with revenue increasing 78% to Rs 24,138 crore. Despite strong growth driven by Blinkit's quick commerce expansion and Zomato's food delivery, the profit missed some analyst estimates due to higher expenses. Blinkit added 308 stores, raising its target to 3,500 by March 2027 and 5,000 by 2028. The company also announced a stake acquisition in Mygate and plans to launch its Dark.AI platform globally by year-end.
