Swiggy to use drones to replenish grocery stocks in pilot project

Bengaluru-based food delivery platform Swiggy will deploy drones on a pilot basis to execute deliveries for its grocery service Instamart. The first tranche would involve Garuda Aerospace for Bengaluru and Skyeair Mobility for Delhi-NCR. According to the blog post, Swiggy ‘finalised four vendors in two tranches who have a mix of capabilities in drone hardware, potential to scale up, investment in innovation, research and development, and the overall ability to deliver the service’. The pilot project is meant to evaluate the feasibility of drones for the middle-mile use case, particularly for Swiggy’s grocery delivery service Instamart.
