Can Swiggy’s Instamart spice it up in quick commerce?

For the September quarter, both companies saw about 5% and 24% growth in their respective gross order values of the food delivery and quick-commerce businesses. In Q2FY25, Swiggy’s GOV was ₹10,600 crore against ₹15,800 crore of Zomato in both the main businesses, i.e., food delivery and quick commerce together. Its adjusted Ebitda in Q2FY25 in the two businesses was ₹333 crore, whereas Swiggy’s was negative at ₹247 crore, mainly due to losses in its quick-commerce arm Instamart. The management said in the post-earnings call that it expects further improvement in revenue or take-rate as a percentage of GOV for food delivery business by 150 basis points in the medium term from 25.1% in Q2FY25. Interestingly, higher revenue as a percentage of GOV has not helped Swiggy make a relatively higher contribution margin versus Zomato in Q2FY25.
