Swiggy Platform Fee Increase: If you often order food from outside, now you may have to spend a little more. Online food delivery app Swiggy has increased its platform fee to Rs 17.58 per order, which was earlier Rs 14.99. That means it has increased by more than 17 percent.
Let us tell you that before this Zomato had also increased its fees by about Rs 2.40. In such a situation, after this decision of both the big food delivery companies, ordering food online is going to be a little more expensive than before.
Rising costs increase the challenge for companies
Swiggy has informed the users on the app that the purpose of increase in platform fees is to handle the increasing expenses related to operation and maintenance. Actually, due to Iran-Israel war, tension has increased in the Middle East. The effect of which is clearly visible on the prices of LPG and crude oil.
Due to cost of fuel, the cost of the entire food delivery system has increased. Which includes everyone from restaurants to delivery partners. For these reasons, a decision has been taken to increase the platform charge.
The burden of expenses will increase on those who order again and again
The increased platform fees of online food delivery platforms like Swiggy and Zomato will have the biggest impact on those who order food daily or frequently. Especially students and those youth who are working away from home, there will be a direct increase in their expenses.
Due to repeated ordering, these small increases can add up to a huge monthly expense. Due to which there will be more impact on the pockets of these users.

Online food delivery platform Zomato had last week decided to increase its platform fees by about 19 percent. Whereas it started with just Rs 2 in August 2023 and now it has increased to Rs 17.58.
