Amazon’s quick commerce and grocery retail arm, Amazon Retail, reported a loss of Rs 1,158.3 crore in the fiscal year ended March 2026, widening 194% year-on-year from Rs 394.2 crore in FY25. Revenue from operations grew 50% to Rs 3,065.1 crore during the same period, according to standalone financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies (medianama.com).
The losses expanded despite Amazon Retail’s revenue growth, driven by increased expenses that surged 73% to Rs 4,238.7 crore in FY26 from Rs 2,468.2 crore in FY25. Procurement costs, the largest expense, rose 74% to Rs 3,090.5 crore, while delivery charges more than doubled to Rs 528.6 crore. The company’s revenue primarily comes from sales of fruits, vegetables, groceries, appliances, and daily essentials through Amazon Fresh and Amazon Now.
Amazon Retail faces stiff competition in India’s quick commerce sector from established players Blinkit, Instamart, and Zepto, as well as newer entrants Flipkart Minutes and BBNow. Despite the sector’s rapid growth, the rising costs of procurement and delivery have pressured profitability, reflecting broader challenges in the fast-growing but competitive quick commerce market.
The company’s total revenue, including other income such as interest on fixed deposits and investments, reached Rs 3,080.4 crore in FY26. The financial filings highlight the continuing struggle for profitability in Amazon’s grocery and quick commerce business amid intensifying market competition.
