This figure was 6.11 billion rupees in the same period last year. The increase in the loss was influenced by the company’s heavy investments in its fast delivery arm, Instamart.
Swiggy continues to strengthen its warehouse and logistics infrastructure, open new stores, and offer aggressive discounts to attract users to support Instamart’s growth.

Instamart is in intense competition with strong rivals such as Zomato’s Blinkit, Zepto, Tata-backed BigBasket, and Amazon.
Despite all these investments, Swiggy’s revenue increased by 54% to 49.61 billion rupees in the same quarter. However, its total expenses also increased by 60% to 62.44 billion rupees; Most of this increase came from advertising spending.
