Redseer flags value grocery as India's next e-commerce frontier as kiranas hold 86% share through FY30

India's grocery market will expand from $658B in 2025 to $992B by FY30, but kiranas will still command 86% share, down only marginally from 91%. Redseer sees the gap as fertile ground for value-focused online platforms targeting price-conscious Tier-2/3 households, with online retail growing 21% in FY26 to $79B.
