ONDC, the government-run Open Network for Digital Commerce has said that it has recorded 374,000 orders in a single day during the finals of the T20 World Cup.
These figures were reportedly demonstrated by the increasing adoption of the ONDC Network approach and its role in transforming India's e-commerce landscape. By providing a level of the playing field for businesses of all sizes, the Network will continue to enhance the digital shopping experience for consumers nationwide, it stated.
In May 2024, ONDC recorded an all-time high of 8.9 million transactions across the retail and ride-hailing segments.
"This showcases the Open Network's ability to handle high-volume transactions during significant events. Additionally, the F&B category saw exceptional growth, recording 61,000 orders," the ONDC said in a statement.
In the retail segment, the ONDC has hit a new milestone of 5 million orders in May this year, up from 3.59 million in April 2024. The network also saw a single-day record of 200,000 retail transactions during the month.
The grocery and food delivery categories each crossed the 1 million order mark for the first time, while home and kitchen had 630,000 orders, fashion had 330,000 orders, and other retail sub-categories added up to 2 million orders, according to the network.
