Just before the festive season, food delivery and quick commerce company Eternal (parent company of Zomato and Blinkit) has surprised customers by raising its platform fee.
From Tuesday, September 2, 2025, the platform charge has gone up by 20%, from ₹10 to ₹12 per order.
The company has made this change in less than a year. Experts believe this step has been taken due to rising operational costs and the higher demand during festivals.
What Does This Mean for Customers?
With the new fee, customers now have to pay ₹12 instead of ₹10 on every order. For those who order frequently, this small change will add up.
For example:
Earlier: 20 orders in a month = ₹200 platform fee
Now: 20 orders in a month = ₹240 platform fee
This means an extra ₹40 per month just on platform charges.
