Bengaluru, Dec 2 | Swiggy to infuse Rs 5250 Cr in quick grocery service Instamart. Online food delivery platform Swiggy on Thursday announced to invest 0 million (over Rs 5,250 crore) in its express grocery delivery service Instamart that delivers groceries in 15-30 minutes at a crucial time when its closest rival Zomato discontinued its in-house grocery delivery services.
Launched in Gurugram and Bengaluru in 2020, Swiggy Instamart is now serving customers across 18 cities, and doing over one million orders per week.
In the last few months, Swiggy Instatmart has on-boarded more than one seller-run dark store every day. By January 2022, it will make deliveries in 15 minutes by having the network of dark stores very close to the majority of its customers.
At our current growth trajectory, Instamart is set to reach an annualised GMV run rate of billion in the next three quarters, said Sriharsha Majety, CEO, Swiggy.
With our food delivery business trending at a billion annualised GMV run rate, and Instamarts super-charged growth, were very excited about our convenience mission coming to life in a very big way, Majety added.
The platform is available in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Delhi, Gurugram, Hyderabad, Indore, Jaipur, Kolkata, Kochi, Lucknow, Ludhiana, Mumbai, Noida, Pune and Vizag.
The platform offers an assortment of products across categories like fresh fruits and vegetables, daily bread and eggs, cooking essentials, beverages, instant food and munchies, personal and baby care, home and cleaning, specially curated to suit the demand requirements of each location.
