Flipkart extends Indian ecommerce lead, Myntra widens lead in fashion: BofA

Flipkart Group has widened its lead in India's e-commerce market and strengthened its dominance in online fashion through Myntra, according to a Bank of America Securities report that points to resilient consumer demand despite intense competition across the internet sector. The brokerage, citing Sensor Tower daily active user (DAU) data and industry checks, said Flipkart remained the leading e-commerce platform by user engagement as of June 2026, while Myntra continued to pull ahead of rivals in fashion. The findings suggest that competitive pressures in India's online retail market have yet to dent Flipkart's market position, even as rivals continue to invest heavily to gain share. BofA said Myntra's leadership in fashion appears to be deepening, aided by relatively limited competition in premium fashion and beauty categories. The brokerage noted that several competitors had sought to position themselves as credible challengers, but user engagement trends indicate Myntra continue

CCPA orders probe into unregistered herbicide sale on e-commerce sites

Four major e-commerce platforms, Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho and JioMart, have delisted an allegedly unregistered agro-chemical product following notices issued by the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA), which has since ordered a detailed investigation into the matter. The platforms informed the regulator that listings of "Cyclosinone Herbicide" had been removed with immediate effect and that seller accounts associated with such listings had been placed under scrutiny, the regulator said in a statement on Saturday. The CCPA, however, said the responses were only a first step and directed that the matter be taken up for comprehensive investigation. "The CCPA has placed the matter for detailed investigation," the regulator said. The notices were originally issued following a complaint by the Crop Care Federation of India (CCFI), forwarded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, alleging that the herbicide was being actively sold and promoted online despite not ...
