Swiggy , India's leading on-demand convenience platform, reported a significant 54% year-over-year increase in revenue, despite a near doubling of net losses. The company's financial results highlight both its robust growth and the challenges it faces in achieving profitability.
Revenue Growth and Expanded Losses
Swiggy's revenue from operations rose 54% to Rs 4,961.00 crore. However, the company's net loss widened to Rs 1,197.00 crore from Rs 611.00 crore year-over-year, nearly doubling from the previous fiscal year. This increase in losses reflects the company's continued investments in growth initiatives and market expansion.
Segment Performance
Food Delivery
Swiggy's core Food Delivery business faced some challenges. Food delivery contribution margins dropped to 7.3% of Gross Order Value, down 43 basis points quarter-over-quarter, primarily due to seasonal factors including higher delivery costs from lower delivery partner availability and monsoons. Adjusted EBITDA margins declined to 2.4%, down 52 basis points quarter-over-quarter.
Quick Commerce
Swiggy's Quick Commerce segment, Instamart, showed remarkable growth. The segment posted losses of Rs 896.00 crore but demonstrated strong performance with 108% year-over-year GOV growth to Rs 5,655.00 crore. Instamart added 41 new dark stores, bringing the total to 1,062 across 127 cities. Swiggy maintains guidance of reaching contribution margin break-even in Quick Commerce between Q3FY26 and Q1FY27.
Strategic Initiatives and Developments
Swiggy continues to innovate and expand its service offerings. The company has introduced new initiatives such as:
99-Store: Launched affordability initiatives including flat-priced meals at Rs 99.00 across 175+ cities.
Rapido Stake Re-evaluation: Swiggy is actively re-evaluating its 12% minority stake in Rapido due to potential conflict of interest after Rapido announced plans to enter the food delivery business.
Outlook
While Swiggy's rapid revenue growth is impressive, the widening losses highlight the challenges in the highly competitive food delivery and quick commerce sectors. The company remains focused on expanding its user base, improving unit economics, and driving towards profitability in its Quick Commerce segment.
As Swiggy continues to balance growth with profitability, investors will be watching closely to see how the company navigates the competitive landscape, especially with the potential changes in its relationship with Rapido, and progresses towards its financial goals in the coming quarters.
