JioMart to Launch Soon: Here Is All You Need to Know

Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) will soon be competing with the likes of Amazon and Flipkart with its very own e-commerce venture JioMart. The retail arm of RIL, Reliance Retail would be operating JioMart, which is currently available in Navi-Mumbai, Thane and Kalyan but will begin to function in other parts of the country as well.

The venture pegs itself as “Desh Ki Nayi Dukaan” on its website and says that they currently deliver within selected areas of Navi Mumbai, Kalyan and Thane. There is also an option for consumers to pre-register for the launch on the website and save Rs 3000.

Customers can pre-register for the launch by providing details such as name, address, mobile number, email address and then generate OTP. Consumers can also ask for WhatsApp assistance while registering with the e-commerce website.

Benefits of Shopping with JioMart

While not much has been mentioned about the kind of products or discounts that would be available on JioMart, the website does mention a few salient benefits of shopping with the portal, which are as follows:

1. Consumers would have a choice to order from over 50,000 grocery products.
2. Unlike Amazon, there would be no minimum order value and free delivery is being offered for all purchases.
3. The website also promises maximum savings.
4. Consumers would also have the option to return ordered items as there is a “No questions asked return policy.”
5. JioMart also promises express delivery.

Mukesh Ambani, chairman and managing director of reliance industries, had hinted about JioMart in the Reliance Industries' 42nd annual general meeting (AGM) in 2019. He had called this venture “new commerce” and said: “Our beta trials with thousands of merchants across multiple locations in the country established the premise of new commerce with a significant increase in sales and improvement in margins for the participating merchants. We are now getting ready to roll out the platform at a larger scale.”

JioMart will also have a mobile app, which will be available on both Android and iOS versions. JioMart apps, similar to Amazon and Flipkart apps, will allow customers to order for items through their mobile devices.
