Shopping guide: All you need to know about using JioMart in Vizag

JioMart, which began testing its home delivery service in the suburbs of Mumbai, has been accepting orders in Vizag since March 2020. Launching its services across India, an executive officer at JioMart wrote on Twitter, “Never waste a crisis, they say! Big town or small, JioMart delivers in over 200 towns”.

JioMart’s entry into Vizag came at a time when the whole city was locked indoors because of the Coronavirus pandemic. Due to the restrictions imposed, because of the pandemic, JioMart’s offerings of fresh foods, pulses, packaged foods, household cleaning items, pet food, etc., were quite beneficial to Vizagites.
