What to know about Food Delivery in India

Zomato and Swiggy form India's overwhelming restaurant-delivery duopoly. Datum Intelligence estimated Zomato at 57 percent and Swiggy at 43 percent of food-delivery gross order value on October 30, 2025. Both cover Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and hundreds of other cities. Zomato usually has slightly broader restaurant depth, while the cheaper app changes by restaurant, subscription and fee. magicpin uses the government-backed ONDC network and can be cheaper because it advertises lower network commissions; it claimed more than 22,000 restaurants and 15 million active users in early 2026. EatSure bundles selected cloud-kitchen brands in Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Delhi NCR, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Pune and Kolkata. Rapido's Ownly became citywide in Bengaluru in February 2026 and was integrated into the main Rapido app on July 28, 2026, with no platform fee and about 20,000 restaurants claimed at launch. Zomato and Swiggy accept English, foreign numbers, international Visa and Mastercard cards and cash on eligible orders, though Indian OTPs and issuer verification can fail. magicpin, EatSure and Ownly are easier with an Indian number, UPI or cash. No local ID is required. Compare the final basket because platform, delivery, packing and surge charges vary. Uber Eats sold to Zomato in January 2020. foodpanda India stopped restaurant delivery by 2019. Outside cities, delivery ends by pin code rather than state.
