Currently, one in every ten food orders on Swiggy is fulfilled through Bolt
New Delhi: Swiggy’s 10-minute food delivery service ‘Bolt’, which was launched in October last year, is now operational in more than 500 cities across the country, the company said in a press release.
Currently, one in every ten food orders on Swiggy is fulfilled through Bolt. It claims to offer over 47 lakh dishes spanning 26 diverse cuisines.
“Bolt fits into the way people live today. You’re hungry, you want something now, and you don’t want to compromise. We built Bolt for that moment. Seeing it scale to 500 plus cities in just a few months has been incredible. And this is just the beginning,” said Rohit Kapoor, CEO, Swiggy Food Marketplace.
The Bolt service focuses on restaurants located within a 2-km radius and menu items that require minimal preparation time, ensuring faster turnarounds and consistent delivery speeds.
Bolt is featured as a tile on the food section of the Swiggy app, making it easier for customers nationwide to access this speedy service. Restaurants on Bolt see optimized workflows, reduced wait times, rapid scaleup in daily orders, and a noticeable uptick in repeat orders.
For Swiggy, the format is a powerful consumer acquisition and retention lever—with new users acquired through Bolt showing 4-6% higher monthly retention than the platform average. Importantly, delivery partners are not informed that an order is a Bolt one, and no incentives are tied to delivery speed, ensuring safety-first execution at every touchpoint.
