Swiggy has raised its platform fee by 17 percent to Rs 17.58 per order, following Zomato’s recent hike. Both platforms now charge similar fees as costs rise across the food delivery sector. The move reflects efforts to sustain margins amid increasing fuel, energy and operational expenses.

New Delhi: Food delivery platform Swiggy has increased its platform fee by 17 per cent. The fee has gone up from Rs 14.99 to Rs 17.58 per order, according to billing details visible on its app. This means customers now pay about Rs 2.59 more per order.

The company said the increase is meant to help it “operate and maintain the platform”.

Zomato Had Taken Similar Step

This hike comes just days after Zomato raised its platform fee by around 19 per cent. Zomato’s pre-GST fee is now Rs 14.90 per order, up from Rs 12.50 earlier.
