Swiggy posts narrower loss as quick commerce arm hits contribution break-even
- The Instamart owner reports a consolidated net loss of 7.91 billion Indian rupees ($82.67 million) for the April–June quarter
India’s Swiggy Ltd on Thursday posted a narrower quarterly loss by 34%, buoyed by healthy demand for its food delivery and as its quick commerce arm hit a contribution break-even.
The Instamart-owner reported a consolidated net loss of 7.91 billion rupees ($82.67 million) for the April-June quarter, compared to a net loss of 11.97 billion rupees a year ago.
Analysts on average had expected a net loss of 7.2 billion rupees, according to LSEG data.
Indian food delivery sector has remained resilient despite a challenging consumer spending environment, with platforms like Swiggy benefiting from customers ordering more frequently and from an uptick in revenue generated through advertisements and platform fees.
