Zomato Increases Food Delivery Platform Fee to Rs 14.90 per Order; Magicpin Rules Out Hike

Zomato increased its platform fee by Rs 2.40, a 19% rise on top of existing costs amid supply disruptions linked to Middle East conflict.

  • On March 20th, Zomato raised its pre-GST platform fee by Rs 2.40 to Rs 14.90 per order, effective today.
  • Because of supply shocks to LPG and oil, domestic costs rose, and rising fuel costs have squeezed delivery operations, adding pressure on pricing amid the Middle East conflict.
  • NDTV Profit calculated the hike at 19%, and the total charge reaches Rs 17.58 with 18 GST, added to food, delivery, and charges.
  • People in the know say the hike applies pan-India, marking the second hike in six months and increasing costs for online food-ordering consumers.
  • Zomato's recent growth metrics are set against sector strategies, with Magicpin maintaining Rs 14.20 and Swiggy charging Rs 14.99, while AI collaborations expand.
