Zomato increases platform fee by 19.2% per order amid rising crude oil prices

Food delivery platform Zomato, owned by Eternal Ltd, on Friday announced an increase in platform fee to Rs 14.9 from the existing Rs 12.5 per order. This in a hike of 19.2 per cent every order.

The hike in platform fee applies for all markets that Zomato has a presece in across India, PTI reported citing sources.

The price hike comes amid rising crude prices, which could affect operations of Zomato-listed restaurants and its delivery partners.

Zomato had last hiked it's platform charge in September 2025. The company's rival Swiggy charges a fee of Rs 14.99 per order.

The latest hike comes at a time when Rapido recently launched its food delivery service, Ownly, in Bengaluru. The urban mobility company said it will not charge any additional fees from customers or restaurants apart from a delivery fee. This could put pressure on on existing players, especially as customers have increasingly raised concerns over multiple charges added to food delivery orders.

The latest hike in platform fees is set to make ordering food costlier for millions of users across the country.
