Customers using Swiggy and Zomato may soon pay more for food delivery orders. Rising fuel prices and higher delivery costs are pushing food delivery companies to increase platform charges across India.
Recent reports show that Swiggy has already increased its platform fee to ₹17.58 per order after a similar move by Zomato. Experts say higher petrol and diesel prices are increasing delivery expenses for companies and delivery partners. Swiggy Zomato order prices increase could affect millions of regular users who order food online every day.
Industry analysts believe companies may continue adjusting delivery and service charges if fuel prices stay high. Customers could notice slightly higher bills even on small food orders. Some users on social media have already reacted negatively to the rising fees.
Food delivery platforms are also trying to balance operational costs while maintaining customer demand in a highly competitive market.
