HSBC and Kotak highlight challenges and prospects for Eternal Limited's Blinkit amid rising competition in quick commerce.

Kotak expects flat contribution and EBITDA margins for Blinkit in the near term, noting increased competition and pricing adjustments. Both see potential for long-term growth despite short-term uncertainties.
