Online Food Delivery Set to Become More Expensive!

Online food delivery may soon become more expensive as rising petrol and diesel prices continue to impact delivery platforms like Zomato and Swiggy. According to reports, the recent fuel price hike has significantly increased operational costs for food delivery and quick commerce companies, raising concerns over higher delivery charges and platform fees for customers in the coming days.

Gig workers and delivery partners have also expressed concern over rising fuel and vehicle maintenance expenses. Delivery unions are demanding better commissions from companies, warning that increasing operational costs are affecting the livelihoods of millions of workers who depend on bike and scooter deliveries. Companies are likely to pass a part of this burden onto customers to protect profit margins.
