Fact check
“The limited test covers select products and users.”
Reasoning
TechCrunch reports that the early test of Google’s Gemini and AI Mode for purchasing from Flipkart is limited to certain users and a limited set of product categories such as smartphones, electronics, and mobile accessories.

On confidence: The source explicitly states the test is limited to some users and a small selection of products.
Important context
The limitation applies to an early rollout in India, focusing on specific product categories and a subset of users, not a full nationwide launch.
