Ordering from online grocery delivery platform Swiggy Instamart may now be expensive. Because the company is preparing to increase the delivery charge on every order. Swiggy is taking this decision as part of its plan to make the company profitable.
Moneycontrol has given this information quoting the company's Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Rahul Bothra. During the announcement of the results of the second quarter of the financial year 2024-25 on Tuesday, the CFO of the company said that the delivery charge is expected to increase with time. However, he did not give any deadline for the change.
Delivery is free for Swiggy One loyalty program users
According to reports, delivery is free only for users with Swiggy One's loyalty program. Other users will have to pay a dynamic fee. Blinkit, owned by Zomato, the market leader in this sector, charges delivery fees on every order and does not have any loyalty program.
At the same time, Zepto also waives delivery charges for Zepto Pass (loyalty program) users, but charges others, as does Swiggy Instamart.
