Mumbai Swiggy riders go on indefinite strike

Delivery executives associated with Swiggy have called for a city-wide indefinite strike in Mumbai, citing reduced payouts, diminished incentives, and an expansion of the delivery radius introduced by the platform in recent days, as the primary reasons for their protest.

According to the Rashtriya Karmchari Sena, which launched the strike on October 8, Swiggy has recently increased the delivery radius for delivery workers from 4 km to 6 km. They argue that this change significantly increases their workload and travel distances, with only Rs 20 being remitted for deliveries within the extended 6-km radius.
