Food delivery giant Swiggy is gearing up to take advantage of the festive season by raising its platform fees.
The company has increased the platform charge on each food order from Rs 12 to Rs 14. Swiggy is aiming to improve profitability by earning more from every order. It first introduced platform fees in April 2023, starting at just Rs 2.
Since then, Swiggy has gradually increased the fee. Despite the rise in charges, the company has seen no drop in order volumes.
While a Rs 2 hike may seem small to users, for Swiggy, it adds up significantly given the huge number of daily orders.
How Much Does Swiggy Earn from Platform Fees?
Swiggy handles over 20 lakh orders per day. With the new platform fee, this gives the company an estimated extra income of Rs 2.8 crore daily, or Rs 8.4 crore per month and Rs 33.6 crore annually.
It remains to be seen whether Swiggy will keep the fee at Rs 14 after the festive season or reduce it back to Rs 12.
Loss Nearly Doubles in June Quarter
Swiggy reported a net loss of Rs 1,197 crore on a consolidated basis for the April–June 2025 quarter.
This is a 96% increase compared to a loss of Rs 611 crore in the same quarter last year.
However, the company’s revenue from operations jumped 54% to Rs 4,961 crore, up from Rs 3,222 crore in June 2024.
Total expenses also rose to Rs 6,244 crore in June 2025, compared to Rs 3,908 crore a year earlier.
Swiggy’s food delivery business grew by 19%, while its quick commerce business (like grocery delivery) saw massive 108% growth.
The platform’s gross order value rose by 45% to Rs 14,797 crore year-on-year. However, the consolidated adjusted EBITDA loss also widened to Rs 813 crore.
