Did Swiggy increase their platform fee from ₹12 to ₹14? Report reveals...

India food delivery aggregator Swiggy had raised its platform fee from ₹ 12 to ₹ 14 in certain pockets only on 15 August due to increase in demand of orders, people familiar with the development told However, as of 16 August, the platform fee remains ₹ 12 across India. A platform fee is a charge that a company like Swiggy, Zomato, or Uber adds to each transaction to cover the cost of maintaining and operating its platform. The platform fee of Rs14 per food delivery order was inclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST), the Economic Times reported. In comparison, Zomato applies a platform fee of ₹ 10, excluding GST. Swiggy was the first to introduce this fee in April 2023, starting at ₹ 2, and has gradually increased it to ₹ 12 (pre-GST) as part of its strategy to strengthen unit-level profitability. Zomato adopted a similar approach, though its most recent fee revision occurred in October 2024. While these fees represented a small portion of the typical ₹ 500– ₹ 600 order value seen on food delivery platforms, they significantly contributed to improving overall profit margins for the companies, the ET report said. In the April–June period, Swiggy's net loss soared to ₹ 1,197 crore, double the figure from the same quarter last year. The company also reported a net cash outflow of ₹ 1,053 crore after accounting for its operating, investing, and financing activities, ET report mentioned. Despite the deepening losses, Swiggy saw a 54% year-on-year growth in operating revenue, which reached ₹ 4,961 crore. Amid this, new competition is emerging in the food delivery space. Ride-hailing firm Rapido has launched Ownly, its own food delivery platform, which is currently operational in select areas of Bengaluru, including Koramangala, HSR Layout, and BTM Layout. Ownly aims to challenge established players like Swiggy and Zomato by offering lower commission rates to restaurant partners between 8% and 15%, compared to the 16% to 30% typically charged by the incumbents.
