Zepto Raises Minimum Order Value for Free Delivery to Rs 199, Matches Competitors
Zepto has increased its minimum order value for free delivery from Rs 149 to Rs 199 in select cities and PIN codes, aligning with competitors Blinkit and Instamart. During high demand periods, this threshold can rise to Rs 299. The move aims to reduce delivery costs and control cash burn while encouraging larger orders. Analysts suggest this adjustment may improve Zepto's financial performance and benefit rivals by shifting market dynamics in India's quick-commerce sector.
