Swiggy Expands Its Delivery Service To 100 Railway Stations

Over a year after partnering with Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) for the supply and delivery of pre-ordered meals, foodtech major Swiggy said that it has expanded its delivery service to 100 railway stations across India.

The service has been expanded in partnership with IRCTC which will be active across 20 railway stations in the country, the company said in a post on LinkedIn.

In a post on LinkedIn, the company claimed that its ‘Food on Train’ features over 60K brands, offering more than 7 Mn items across over 35 cuisines. Besides, its report said that about 54K travellers ordered multiple meals in a single trip.

In the coming months, the food and grocery delivery platform will continue to expand its reach to more stations across the length and breadth of the country, a report by PTI said. 

The development comes at a time when the company has been taking leaps on expanding its various offerings over the past few months. Earlier this year, Swiggy announced that its quick commerce wing Swiggy Instamart will be expanded to 76 cities across India.

Further, the foodtech major announced the expansion of its 10-minute delivery service ‘Bolt’ to 400 cities across India in December last year, and Bolt is one of its infant stage verticals rolled out in select cities initially in October.

To note, the company initially partnered with IRCTC to deliver food in the first phase at four railway stations — Bengaluru, Bhubaneswar, Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam.

Meanwhile, its listed rival Zomato expanded its partnership with the IRCTC for similar food delivery in more than 100 railway stations across the country, last September. Zomato initially partnered with IRCTC in 2023 to launch a pilot for online food delivery across 5 stations on the Indian Railways network – New Delhi, Prayagraj, Kanpur, Lucknow and Varanasi.
