📢 Key Event
Blinkit targets 500+ stores with calibrated expansion across top cities while managing cannibalization risks.

🔄 What Changed
Store expansion target raised to 500+ with 475 new stores added this quarter; contribution margin pressured short-term by new openings but expected to improve long-term.

🔮 What's Next
Steady-state margin target of 4-5% similar to food delivery, with no fixed timeline for EBITDA positivity or take rate optimization beyond absolute profit focus.

💡 Investor Takeaway
Investors should monitor execution of expansion pace and margin trajectory as new stores ramp, with no near-term guidance on profitability milestones.

Eternal Ltd's management outlined aggressive expansion plans for Blinkit, targeting 500+ stores with calibrated acceleration across Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Hyderabad, while addressing cannibalization concerns through enhanced customer experience. They emphasized no material AOV dilution despite geographic growth, with contribution margins improving long-term but pressured short-term by new stores. Take rate rose 1 percentage point, ESOP expenses hit INR 160 crores quarterly, and steady-state margins target 4-5% though timelines remain unspecified. No fixed take rate or EBITDA positivity goals were set beyond current neutrality.
