Swiggy reports IPL 2026 drove food delivery orders +32% and Dineout restaurant bookings +41% YoY, peaking at 6,200 orders/minute during the RCB-GT final, with Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad leading consumption.

Footfall signals steady at 99 in the last 90 days, with IPL spikes reinforcing the baseline.
