Food delivery major Swiggy teases doubling platform fee from Rs 5 to Rs 10

Food delivery major Swiggy is teasing a potential increase in its mandatory platform fee, charged from users, from Rs 5 to Rs 10 as it looks to improve its margins in the lead-up to its anticipated public listing later this year.

Although the on-demand convenience platform has not yet implemented any hike, it has teased the new fee on its application for select users.

The Bengaluru-based firm claims that the increased fee is an experiment tested among a “small set of users”, and the company is not planning a significant hike anytime soon.
