Instamart GOV doubles, Swiggy adds 316 darkstores
The move expanded Instamart's footprint to 124 cities, marking the platform's most aggressive capacity rampup to date.
This surge came even as the company's consolidated platform GOV across B2C businesses rose 40 per cent YoY to ₹12,888 crore. Swiggy's total adjusted EBITDA loss widened to ₹732 crore for the quarter, reflecting heavy investment in Instamart's growth and user acquisition.
While quick-commerce saw mounting losses, Instamart's adjusted EBITDA loss stood at ₹840 crore—Swiggy's core food delivery business continued to deliver resilient performance. GOV in the food delivery segment rose 17.6 per cent YoY to ₹7,347 crore, while adjusted EBITDA margins improved significantly to 2.9 per cent of GOV, up from 0.5 per cent a year ago.
Monthly transacting users in food delivery rose by 2.2 million over the year, buoyed by innovations such as the 'Bolt' express delivery system and premium One BLCK subscription.
Swiggy's 'Out of Home Consumption' segment turned profitable during the quarter, achieving 42 per cent YoY GOV growth and adjusted EBITDA margins of 0.3 per cent of GOV.
The company's average MTU base across services grew 35 per cent YoY to 19.8 million, with 35 per cent of users now engaging with more than one service on the platform.
"FY25 was a year of many firsts for Swiggy," said Sriharsha Majety, MD & Group CEO. "Quick-commerce is in a phase of rapid expansion and heightened competitive intensity. We are focused on growing across categories by delivering unparalleled convenience to consumers."

Why corporate meets are like Durga Pujo
Oh, there are few things that can top the buzz of top-notch mindfests, whether it's ET's WLF in Delhi, or WEF's powwow in Davos. But have you noticed the similarities they have with fests like Durga Pujo? Think about it - attending panels and sessions at these events is really the corporate cousin of pandal-hopping. You start with grand intentions: 'I'll attend the AI ethics panel, the tough tariffs talk, and maybe squeeze in the one on quantum tofu.' But 30 mins in, you're swinging your lanyard - the strap or cord around the neck that acts as your attendance/entry pass - and chewing the cud with someone who calls himself 'Dr Rakesh' and insists he's a thought leader in 'synergistic disruption'.Much like pujo pandals, summit panels are judged by spectacle and buzz. One has LED-lit idols, the other has videos accompanied by soft music. Both involve queues, elbowing strangers, and looking at other people looking at you being suitably moved. The moderator is the pundit doubling as pandit, chanting near-Sanskrit buzzwords like 'scalability' and 'intersectionality', with the fervour of aarti. The panelists, like deities, sit elevated, bathed in spotlight, answering questions no one asked before, with answers that leave you delightfully hungry. And the audience? A mix of devotees, sceptics, and those just here for the excellent, free coffee. Elevate your knowledge and leadership skills at a cost cheaper than your daily tea.
