Swiggy scales cross-service use and Instamart revenue, but order frequency and losses worsen

More than 35% of Swiggy’s transacting users used multiple services in FY26 as monthly users rose 33.1% to 23.5 million. Instamart revenue grew 81% to ₹3,859 crore, but platform order frequency fell and quick-commerce losses widened as the company shifted focus to dark-store utilisation and assortment.

Swiggy reported stronger user scale and cross-service adoption in FY26, but lower order frequency and wider losses. Instamart is prioritising dark-store utilisation, larger formats and assortment over rapid expansion, while Swiggy pursues IOCC status to enable an inventory-led model.

Why this matters

The update follows CEO Sriharsha Majety’s ₹551 crore FY26 pay on ESOP exercise and his warning of continued capital inflows and competition in quick commerce.
