The brokerage estimates the proportion of new stores (less than six months old) to increase to ~39% in Q4 FY25E from ~37% in Q3 FY25 for Blinkit and to ~39% in Q4 FY25E from ~21% in Q3 FY25 for Instamart. We believe this is likely to adversely impact profitability in Q4 FY25E. Therefore, we estimate adjusted Ebitda margin (% of gross order value) in quick commerce business to decline by 127 bps QoQ in Blinkit and 301 bps QoQ in Instamart. Henceforth, profitability should improve as stores scale up.
