Zomato hikes platform fee by 19%

Zomato has announced a significant increase in its platform fee, raising it by 19.2% to Rs 14.90.

This adjustment is attributed to the rising energy costs linked to climbing crude oil prices.

As a result of this fee hike, users can expect higher costs for food delivery services.

In contrast, some competitors, such as magicpin, have opted to maintain their current rates for the time being.

This move by Zomato reflects broader trends in the industry as companies navigate fluctuating operational costs.
