The federation warned that fresh public funds could fuel aggressive discounting, threatening traditional retailers and wholesalers. AICPDF alleged that the rapid expansion of quick-commerce firms could lead to widespread store closures, job losses, and financial distress. It also called for greater transparency on the sustainability of cash-burn business models and demanded a comprehensive review of the sector\u2019s impact on competition and employment before any IPO approval is granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Green-and-Black-Simple-Breaking-News-Instagram-Post-1-819x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Green-and-Black-Simple-Breaking-News-Instagram-Post-1-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Green-and-Black-Simple-Breaking-News-Instagram-Post-1-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Green-and-Black-Simple-Breaking-News-Instagram-Post-1-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Green-and-Black-Simple-Breaking-News-Instagram-Post-1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The All India Consumer Products Distributors Federation (AICPDF) has urged the Prime Minister\u2019s Office and regulators to suspend Zepto\u2019s proposed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1610"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1610\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1612,"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1610\/revisions\/1612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
