Flipkart Tracking

Flipkart tracking follows a parcel from one of India's largest online marketplaces, a Walmart-owned platform that holds an estimated 50% to 60% share of the country's e-commerce gross merchandise value (ICICI Securities, 2025). To track a Flipkart order, paste the Ekart tracking number or the order ID into the tracker on this page and it returns the latest delivery scans. Most Flipkart parcels move through Ekart Logistics, Flipkart's in-house delivery arm, while higher-value and out-of-network shipments are handed to partner couriers, so one Flipkart tracking number can resolve to several different carriers.

How to Track a Flipkart Order

A Flipkart order can be tracked in three distinct ways, each reading from the same underlying carrier scans.

1. Use the tracker on this page. Enter the Ekart tracking number (for example FMPC0123456789) or the Flipkart order ID into the tracker above to pull the live status across whichever carrier holds the parcel, without signing in to Flipkart.
2. Open the Flipkart app or website. Sign in, go to My Orders, select the item, and tap Track to see the status, the assigned courier, and the estimated delivery date.
3. Check the carrier's own portal. Once the carrier is known, the tracking number can be entered on that carrier's site, for example ekartlogistics.com for an Ekart shipment.

The Flipkart and Myntra apps share the same Ekart-based fulfilment network, so a parcel from either store is tracked the same way. Guest and gift orders can also be tracked from the order-confirmation email or SMS without signing in, using the shipment ID and the registered phone number.

Flipkart Order Number and Tracking Number

A Flipkart purchase carries two different codes, and only one of them returns live delivery scans. The Flipkart order ID identifies the purchase in Flipkart's records and is used for returns, refunds, and customer support, but it cannot be tracked on a carrier network. The tracking number (also called the shipment ID or AWB) identifies the physical parcel on the courier's network and is the only code that returns scan-by-scan movement.

A Flipkart order ID is a long numeric string that begins with the letters OD, for example OD111243738506636000. Each item in a multi-item order can have its own shipment, so one order ID can map to several tracking numbers. The Ekart tracking number is the code to use for live tracking: it typically starts with FMPC or FMPP for Flipkart-network shipments, for example FMPC0123456789, followed by 10 to 14 digits.

A parcel can be assigned a fresh tracking number when it is handed from one carrier to another, so a single Flipkart order can show more than one number across its journey. When live scans are needed, use the carrier tracking number, not the OD order ID.

Where to Find a Flipkart Tracking Number

The tracking number is issued once the seller marks the order shipped, and it appears in several places.

• The order-shipped SMS sent to the registered mobile number.
• The dispatch email from Flipkart.
• The My Orders section of the Flipkart or Myntra app, on the order detail screen.
• The Track view inside the order, which also names the assigned courier.

The OD order ID shown at checkout is not a tracking number. Tracking begins only after the FMPC or FMPP shipment ID is generated and the first carrier scan is recorded.

Flipkart Tracking Number Format

A buyer can encounter several number formats on a single Flipkart order: the OD order ID, the Ekart shipment ID, and, when a third-party courier carries the parcel, that courier's own AWB format. The table below lists the formats Flipkart shoppers most commonly see.

Format / Pattern	Example	What It Indicates / Where You See It
OD + 18 digits	OD111243738506636000	Flipkart order ID. Identifies the purchase for returns and support; cannot be tracked on a carrier network.
FMPC + 10 to 14 digits	FMPC0123456789	Ekart shipment ID for a Flipkart-network parcel. The code to enter for live tracking.
FMPP + digits	FMPP0133479228	Ekart shipment ID variant seen on Flipkart and Myntra dispatches.
Letters + digits (carrier AWB)	BC01098566	Ekart or partner-courier air waybill. Format varies by the carrier assigned to the parcel.
11 to 14 digit numeric	14709876543210	Partner-courier AWB (for example Delhivery or XpressBees) when the parcel is carried outside the Ekart network.

Because Flipkart can route a parcel through Ekart or a third-party courier, the tracking-number format depends on which carrier is assigned. A relabel at a carrier handoff can produce a second number for the same parcel, which is why the Flipkart app always shows the number that is currently active.

Flipkart Order Status Guide

Flipkart order statuses follow a defined lifecycle from order confirmation to delivery, and the same labels appear in the app, the SMS updates, and this tracker. The table below explains what each status means.

Status	Description
Order Confirmed	Flipkart has received and accepted the order; payment is authorised or cash on delivery is recorded.
Packed / Ready to Ship	The seller has packed the item and generated the shipment ID; the parcel is awaiting carrier pickup.
Shipped / Dispatched	The carrier has collected the parcel and the first scan is recorded; live tracking is now active.
In Transit	The parcel is moving between Ekart or partner-courier hubs toward the destination city.
Reached Nearest Hub	The parcel has arrived at the delivery hub serving the buyer's pincode.
Out for Delivery	A delivery agent is carrying the parcel to the address; delivery is expected the same day.
Delivery Attempted	Delivery was tried but not completed, often due to an absent recipient or an address issue; a reattempt is scheduled.
Delivered	The parcel has been handed to the recipient; for COD orders, payment was collected on delivery.
Return Requested	The buyer has raised a return or replacement within the return window.
Return Picked Up	The carrier has collected the returned item for the journey back to the seller.
Refunded	Flipkart has processed the refund to the original payment method or to the buyer's bank account for a COD order.

Why Flipkart Order Tracking Is Not Updating or Not Working

When Flipkart tracking is stuck or shows no movement, the cause is usually one of the following. The fix depends on which stage the parcel has reached.

Awaiting the first scan. A tracking number is generated when the seller marks the order packed, but live scans start only once the carrier physically collects the parcel. It is normal for tracking to stay blank for up to 24 to 48 hours after the shipped notification, and longer during high-volume sale events.

Between hub scans. A parcel in transit can go quiet for a day or two while it moves between Ekart or partner-courier hubs, especially across long domestic routes. No new scan does not mean the parcel has stopped; the next update usually appears at the destination hub.

Carrier handoff or relabel. When a parcel passes from Ekart to a partner courier, or the reverse, a new tracking number can be issued and the old one stops updating. The current number is shown in the Flipkart app under Track.

Wrong number entered. Entering the OD order ID instead of the FMPC or FMPP shipment ID returns no carrier scans, because the order ID is not a trackable number. Use the shipment ID for live tracking.

Address or pincode issue. An incomplete address, an unreachable phone number, or a non-serviceable pincode can stall a parcel at the delivery hub with a failed-attempt or address-pending status. Correcting the address or contact details in the Flipkart app, where the option is available, lets the carrier reattempt.

Genuinely delayed. If the parcel has shown no movement for several days past the estimated delivery date, contact Flipkart support first through the app, as Flipkart coordinates the carrier on the buyer's behalf; the carrier is the second point of contact once the assigned courier is known.

Which Couriers Deliver Flipkart Orders?

Most Flipkart parcels are delivered by Ekart, Flipkart's in-house logistics arm, which handles the bulk of domestic fulfilment, last-mile delivery, and reverse logistics, and reaches deep into rural pincodes with a wide cash-on-delivery network. Ekart is not a separate marketplace: it is the carrier that coordinates and completes delivery for Flipkart and Myntra orders, which is why most Flipkart tracking numbers start with FMPC or FMPP.

For overflow capacity, specific regions, and certain product categories, Flipkart hands parcels to third-party couriers. These include Delhivery, which serves more than 18,500 pincodes, Ecom Express, which covers over 27,000 pincodes, and XpressBees, which reaches more than 20,000 pincodes. Premium and express shipments can move through Blue Dart, while remote and rural addresses are sometimes served by India Post and DTDC. Sister platform Myntra uses the same Ekart-led network, so its parcels track identically.

Because the carrier is assigned per shipment, the buyer does not choose the courier, and a multi-item order can be split across several carriers. The Flipkart app names the assigned courier on the Track screen once the parcel ships, and the tracker on this page resolves the number regardless of which carrier holds the parcel.

How Flipkart Tracking Works After an Order Ships

A Flipkart parcel passes through a defined chain of scans between the seller and the doorstep, and each stage produces a tracking update. Understanding the chain explains why tracking sometimes pauses between updates.

After the seller packs the item and generates the shipment ID, the parcel is collected by Ekart or the assigned carrier at the origin pickup and the first scan is recorded. It then moves to an origin sorting hub, where it is consolidated with other parcels heading in the same direction. From there it travels by road or air on the line-haul leg to the city or region nearest the buyer, which is the stage where tracking most often goes quiet for a day or two.

On arrival, the parcel is scanned into the destination hub serving the buyer's pincode, then assigned to a delivery agent and marked Out for Delivery. The final last-mile delivery ends with a delivered scan, or with a failed-attempt scan and a scheduled reattempt if the recipient is unavailable. When a parcel is relabelled at a carrier handoff, a new number is issued at the hub, which is why one order can show more than one tracking number across this chain.

Delivery Times and Shipping Options

Flipkart delivery times depend on the destination pincode, the seller's location, and the product category, and the estimated delivery date is shown at checkout. Metro and large-city addresses are typically served in 2 to 4 business days, while smaller towns and rural pincodes can take 5 to 7 business days. These are estimates, not guarantees, and high-demand sale events such as the Big Billion Days can extend them.

Flipkart Plus members and orders above the free-shipping threshold receive free standard delivery, while smaller orders can carry a shipping fee shown before checkout. Same-day and next-day delivery are available on selected products in major cities, and large appliances and furniture are delivered and installed on a scheduled-slot basis. Express options are surfaced at checkout where the seller and pincode support them.

The table below summarises the typical delivery windows by destination type. The figures are estimates and vary with the seller's dispatch location and the product category.

Destination type	Typical delivery window	Notes
Metro cities	2 to 4 business days	Same-day or next-day available on selected items.
Tier-2 cities and large towns	3 to 5 business days	Standard Ekart and partner-courier delivery.
Rural and remote pincodes	5 to 7 business days	Often completed by Ekart's rural network or India Post.
Large appliances and furniture	Scheduled slot	Delivered and installed by appointment.

Cash on Delivery and Open-Box Delivery

Cash on delivery (COD) lets a buyer pay in cash, or by card or UPI at the door, when the parcel arrives, and it is widely available across Flipkart's network because Ekart operates a deep COD-enabled last mile. For COD orders, the Delivered status is recorded once the agent collects payment and hands over the parcel.

For certain high-value categories, including mobile phones and some electronics, Flipkart runs open-box delivery: the delivery agent opens the parcel at the doorstep so the buyer can verify the item before accepting it. If the product is wrong, damaged, or missing, the buyer can reject it on the spot, and for a COD order the refund is handled immediately. Open-box delivery is reflected in the order's tracking and is one reason a Flipkart parcel can show a same-day return scan rather than a delivered scan.

Returns, Refunds, and Cancellations

Flipkart's return window is set per product category and runs from the delivery date. Many fashion and lifestyle items carry a return, replacement, or exchange window of around 7 days, electronics and large appliances often allow replacement within 7 to 10 days for damaged or defective units, and some categories offer a shorter 3-day window or no returns at all, as stated on each product page (Flipkart Return Policy, 2025). The exact window is shown on the product page and in My Orders.

For most returns Flipkart arranges a free pickup through the carrier, so the buyer does not pay for a return label; the replacement or refund is processed after the item is collected and inspected. Refunds to a bank account, UPI, or card are typically completed within a few business days of pickup, while cash-on-delivery refunds are issued to the buyer's bank account or as a Flipkart gift card. The return's progress is visible under My Orders with its own status, from Return Requested to Refunded.

An order can be cancelled free of charge before it is dispatched. Once it is packed or shipped a cancellation fee can apply, and once it is out for delivery it cannot be cancelled but can be refused at the door. If tracking shows a parcel as delivered but it was not received, check with neighbours and household members, then raise the issue in the Flipkart app within the support window so Flipkart can investigate with the carrier. When a parcel is returned to sender as undeliverable, for example after failed delivery attempts or an incorrect address, Flipkart issues a refund or arranges a reshipment once the item is back at the hub.

What Is Flipkart

Flipkart is an Indian e-commerce company founded in 2007 by Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal, and is now majority-owned by Walmart, which acquired a controlling stake in 2018. It is one of India's largest online marketplaces, with an estimated 220 to 240 million monthly active users and a seller base of roughly 450,000 merchants (ICICI Securities, 2025). Flipkart Internet reported gross merchandise value of about USD 8.5 billion in FY24 for its marketplace business (Entrackr, 2024).

Flipkart operates a marketplace model in which third-party sellers list products that Flipkart fulfils and ships, supported by its in-house logistics arm Ekart and its group companies including the fashion platform Myntra and the payments service PhonePe. The platform is strongest in high-value categories such as smartphones, electronics, and large appliances, which contribute a large share of its business, and it runs major annual sale events such as the Big Billion Days. Because Flipkart relies on a network of independent sellers and multiple carriers, an order's exact dispatch time and assigned courier vary by seller and destination, which is why tracking the shipment ID is the reliable way to follow a Flipkart parcel.
