Reliance’s e-commerce platform JioMart is now available for download on Google Play Store and Apple App Store. It was initially launched as a website but now buyers can download the app from their devices to buy groceries and other products. The JioMart delivery services have been made available to more than 200 locations across the country.

Reliance Industries launched JioMart to compete with Amazon and Flipkart, that are currently dominating the e-retail market in India. The JioMart mobile app comes a week after the Reliance Annual General Meeting 2020 in which Chairman Mukesh Ambani spoke on his vision about JioMart and how it plans to survive in the market.

Shopping will be made easier with JioMart app as lakhs of smartphone users in India prefer to download an app rather than visiting a website to order a product. All its rival companies including Amazon, Flipkart, and others have separate mobile apps.
