Short answer
This report will publish city and category shelf-availability from MarQet Shelf Watch. Until a dated extract is supplied, the page is a template: no city rankings, no invented percentages, and it is excluded from the sitemap.
Key takeaways
- Shelf Watch currently tracks Blinkit only.
- Listed on Blinkit is not the same as in stock in a dark store.
- The one public snapshot we already share: one personal-care SKU, 1,954 dark stores, 260 cities, about 30% listed but out of stock, 29 Sep 2026.
- City tables stay empty until a real dataset is loaded.
This page is the public home for a recurring Blinkit availability report. It is wired for a Dataset schema and city × category tables. It will not be indexed and will not enter the sitemap until we publish numbers from an actual Shelf Watch run.
What we will publish (when data is ready)
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Period | Dates of the Shelf Watch extract |
| Cities | Cities covered in that run |
| Categories | Brand categories in the extract |
| Listed stores | Dark stores where the SKU appears |
| In-stock stores | Dark stores where it can be bought |
| Listed but OOS | Live on the app, empty on the shelf |
No row in that table is filled with a guess.
The one snapshot already on the site
Shelf Watch's product page already cites a real run:
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Channel | Blinkit only |
| SKU | One D2C personal-care product |
| Dark stores checked | 1,954 |
| Cities | 260 |
| Listed but out of stock | about 30% |
| Date | 29 Sep 2026 |
That snapshot is not a national ranking and not a category benchmark. Do not treat it as one.
How a city page will look
When we have data, each city will show:
- dark stores checked
- share listed but out of stock
- worst hours (if the extract includes time)
- categories covered
Until then, get a free Shelf Check for your own SKU instead of reading a blank report.
Method (so the future tables are citable)
- Source: MarQet Shelf Watch checks of Blinkit dark stores.
- Unit: SKU × dark store × timestamp, rolled up to city and category.
- We will not mix frequencies in one published rate without saying so.
- We will not invent a second quick-commerce channel. Shelf Watch is Blinkit only today.
Frequently asked questions
Why is this page noindexed?
Because empty research pages that rank for 'Blinkit availability' would mislead readers and AI engines. It goes live in the sitemap when a dated extract is added.
Can I get numbers for my SKU now?
Yes. Use the free Shelf Check on the Shelf Watch page. That run is for your catalogue, not a public benchmark.
