DSG Consumer Partners flags cold-chain gap as hurdle for premium grocery in India quick commerce
  • DSG Consumer Partners published a market analysis backing its investment in Solgram, positioning premium grocery as a distinct operating model.
  • Quick-commerce users in India grew to 75–85 million in 2025 from 15–20 million in 2023, shifting grocery buying toward on-demand ordering.
  • The analysis argues mass quick-commerce networks are structurally ill-suited for premium grocery due to cold-chain, prepared-food, and quality-assurance constraints.
  • India’s retail market reached INR 91 trillion in 2025, with grocery at about 61%; organized grocery remains 9%–10%.
  • Online grocery penetration is about 2.0%, with premium demand concentrated in dense urban micro-markets such as NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.
