Swiggy has said it has expanded its food delivery service, in partnership with IRCTC, to 100 railway stations across 20 states in India. 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, Swiggy said in a statement.
"Train journeys are an integral part of India's culture, and food plays a central role in that experience. Expanding Swiggy Food on Trains to 100 stations allows us to serve passengers with greater convenience and access to a diverse range of meals from across the country," Deepak Maloo, Vice President, Swiggy Food Marketplace, said.
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.
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.
