Method and limits
We find dark stores by checking which store each app assigns to a pin code, across every pin code we cover, every week. A store is counted once even when it serves many pin codes. A store we stop seeing is marked closed, not deleted. Map position is shown only when the app reveals it. Counts are what the apps show to shoppers; they are not figures from the companies. BigBasket's delivery check, as Rewalto reads it, names no store, so its named delivery areas are listed separately and are mapped to the store that serves them as our weekly checks read it.

Questions people ask
- How many dark stores are there in India in 2026?
- Rewalto counted 13,764 quick-commerce dark stores across 7 apps on 31 October 2026. The count is refreshed every week.
- Which quick-commerce app has the most dark stores?
- Blinkit, with 5,116 stores, then JioMart with 3,127 and Zepto with 1,630 (31 Oct 2026). JioMart's count includes Reliance stores that fulfil JioMart orders.
- Which city has the most dark stores?
- Bengaluru, with 1,336 stores across 7 apps, followed by Delhi (993) and Hyderabad (792).
- Why do other sources show fewer dark stores?
- Counts differ by which apps are included and what counts as a store. We count every store 7 apps use for fast delivery, including JioMart's store-fulfilled orders and DMart. We do not count delivery areas as stores: BigBasket's 12,467 BB Now areas are shown separately.
- Can I download a list of dark stores with pin codes?
- Yes. Each record has the app, store ID, city, every pin code served and first and last seen dates. It costs 5 credits per store, and every account gets 1,000 free credits a month.
- Is there an API for dark-store locations?
- Yes: GET /v1/data/dark-stores, with filters for app, city and pin code. AI agents can use the list_dark_stores MCP tool (preview).
- How often is the dark-store count updated?
- Every week. Each store record keeps the first and last time Rewalto's weekly checks found it, so new and closed stores show up within a week.
- Does Rewalto know what each dark store stocks?
- Not yet as a dataset. Assortment per dark store is planned on the data catalogue. Today Rewalto reads prices and stock by pin code, and the Dark-store map records which pin codes each store was seen delivering to.
