Walmart-owned Flipkart on Tuesday said it has joined hands with Vishal Mega Mart for home delivery of essential items in 26 cities in the country, including Delhi-NCR, Bangalore and Calcutta.

Under the partnership, consumers will be able to order products from over 365 Vishal Mega Mart stores and get them delivered at their doorstep by Flipkart.

As part of the alliance, a Vishal Mega Mart Essentials store has been created on Flipkart’s platform.

Consumers can order essential products such as flour, rice, oil, pulses, beverages and other items from various brands as well as Vishal’s own labels.

“The products will be available under the government guidelines across all zones. Once a consumer places an order through the Flipkart app, the delivery executives will collect the products from the nearest Vishal store and deliver it to the customer safely,” the statement said.
