Zomato, the food delivery arm of Eternal Ltd, has increased its platform fee to Rs 14.9 per order from Rs 12.5. This marks a 19.2% hike per order, adding to the overall cost for users placing food orders.
The price increase comes at a time when rising crude oil prices are putting pressure on logistics and delivery costs. Higher fuel prices could impact both restaurant operations and delivery partners, prompting platforms like Zomato to pass on part of the cost to consumers.
