Swiggy hikes platform fee by 17 pc to Rs 17.58 per order

After Zomato, food delivery platform Swiggy has raised platform fee, increasing it by 17 per cent to Rs 17.58 per order from Rs 14.99 earlier.

The revised charges, as per its billing on the app, suggest a hike of around 17 per cent or Rs 2.59, including pre-GST, just days after rival Zomato revised similar category charges.

The revised fee is now visible on the



Swiggy app, with the company informing users that the increase is aimed at helping it “operate and maintain the platform”. The move came close on the heels of Zomato raising its platform fee by about 19 per cent last week, translating into an additional Rs 2 per order.

With the latest revision, both platforms now charge nearly similar fees of around Rs 17.58 per order, including GST.
