On Thursday, the RIL stock closed on the BSE at Rs 1,457.65 a share, up Rs 9.60, or by 0.66 per cent on its previous close.

The report, however, said that the new hyperlocal store format would to aid RIL's "new commerce" initiative. It also said that 'Smart Point' stores have delivery points for JioMart orders.

"Smart Point stores are full-fledged grocery outlets (smaller version of large 'Smart' stores) and have dedicated delivery points for JioMart app orders. The customers on JioMart app will have the option to choose delivery via a nearby kirana store (same day delivery) or a Smart Point," it said.

These new stores offer a minimum 7 per cent discount on grocery and a minimum 10 per cent off on medicines, the report added.
