What is the ambulance number in India?

If you are looking for a number to call, it is 108 or 112.

  • 108 — the national emergency ambulance line.
  • 112 — the single all-emergency number, which also reaches police and fire.

Both are free, work from any phone including one with no balance, cover the whole country, and need no app installed, no data connection and no account. For anything time-critical they are faster and more reliable than any app-based service.

Blinkit’s ambulance has no public phone number. It is an in-app service only, so there is no hotline to dial for it. That is worth knowing before you spend time searching for one.

Is the Blinkit ambulance free?

It was not free at launch. When the service opened in Gurugram in January 2025, reporting put the price at a flat ₹2,000 per trip. Blinkit’s founder Albinder Dhindsa said publicly that “profit is not a goal here” and that the aim was to keep the service affordable rather than commercial.

Some later coverage described the service being offered free of charge in certain areas while it was still a pilot. Because pricing has shifted during the rollout and may vary by city, the only reliable answer for your own area is the figure shown in the Blinkit app before you confirm a booking.

How much does it cost? Blinkit ambulance charges

The widely reported launch rate was ₹2,000 flat. No separate charges for distance, waiting time or equipment were mentioned in any of the launch coverage — it was described as a single flat fee per trip. Treat that as the launch figure for Gurugram rather than a current national price, since charges may since have changed or vary by city.

How do you book or call a Blinkit ambulance?

According to reporting on the app flow, the sequence is:

  • Open the Blinkit app
  • Find the ambulance option on the home screen
  • Choose Request Ambulance
  • Confirm your pickup location
  • The app dispatches the nearest vehicle and shows an estimated arrival time

There is no public phone number for it in the way 108 has one — it is an in-app service. If the situation is life-threatening, call 108 or 112 instead. Those work everywhere in India, are free, and do not depend on an app being installed, a phone having data, or the service covering your locality.

Which cities is it available in? Delhi, Gurugram and Mumbai

Reported coverage is Gurugram and selected parts of Delhi NCR. The company has said it intends to expand to major cities over roughly two years, and searches for other cities such as Mumbai have risen sharply — but rising search interest is not the same as confirmed availability, and we have not found reporting that establishes an operating service outside the NCR area. Check the app for your own location.

What is on board, and who staffs it?

These are Basic Life Support vehicles, not intensive-care units. Reported equipment:

  • Oxygen cylinder
  • Automated external defibrillator (AED)
  • Stretcher
  • Monitor
  • Suction machine
  • Essential emergency medicines

Each vehicle is reported to carry a trained paramedic, an assistant and a driver. The vehicles used are Force Traveller and Tata Winger vans, with room for the three crew, one patient and two accompanying people.

How fast is it, really?

The headline is ten minutes. By July 2025, with 12 ambulances across six depots covering close to half of Gurugram, the service was reported to be reaching patients within ten minutes about 83% of the time. It launched with five vehicles.

Of the first 594 calls handled, roughly 294 were scheduled patient transfers, 225 were major medical emergencies and 75 involved road accidents or injuries — so around half the workload was planned transport rather than emergencies.

Is there a Blinkit ambulance app?

Booking happens inside the main Blinkit app. A separately listed “Blinkit Ambulance” app also exists on Google Play. Either way, this website is not it and cannot take a booking.

Who is the owner of Blinkit?

The owner of Blinkit is Eternal Limited, the company formerly named Zomato. Day to day it is operated by Blink Commerce Private Limited. Blinkit itself was founded by Albinder Dhindsa, who announced the ambulance service in January 2025 and still leads the business.

None of those companies has any connection to this website. We are an unrelated third party who happens to own a similarly named domain.

By the way: this domain is for sale

blinkitambulance.in is an independently owned .IN domain available for acquisition — suited to an ambulance, healthcare or emergency-response venture. It is not a working service.
