Walmart Inc'sFlipkart will buy a 7.8 percent stake in Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd for ₹ 1,500 crores ($204 million), the fashion retail company said, on Friday (October 23, 2020).

The investment comes at a time when Amazon.com Inc, Reliance Industries-led billionaire Mukesh Ambani, and Flipkart are in a race to capture market share in India's fast-growing food and grocery online market.
