Swiggy Reports 39% Increase in Losses, Reaching Rs 799 Crore in Q3
The company’s operating loss, which excludes interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization, reached ₹725.66 crore, rising from ₹554.17 crore in the September quarter (Q2).
Despite the losses, Swiggy’s revenue rose by 10.9% from the previous quarter, amounting to ₹3,993.07 crore, as stated in their stock exchange filing.

Additionally, Swiggy Instamart, the company’s quick commerce division, reported a 17.7% sequential increase in revenue, reaching ₹576.5 crore.
“While we are experiencing consistent growth in food delivery margins and cash flow, we are also investing heavily in Quick-commerce, including expanding dark stores and enhancing marketing efforts, particularly in a highly competitive environment,” stated Sriharsha Majety, MD and Group CEO of Swiggy.
Prior to the release of Q3 results, Swiggy’s shares dropped 3.69% to ₹418.05 on the NSE. Since its listing in November, the stock price has decreased by 8.32%.
Swiggy’s gross order value (GOV) surged by 38% to ₹12,165 crore, and its consolidated adjusted EBITDA loss decreased by approximately 2% year-on-year to ₹490 crore. However, on a quarterly basis, the EBITDA loss rose slightly to ₹149 crore, according to its filings.
In comparison, Zomato reported a 57% decline in profits year-on-year, with earnings of ₹59 crore in Q3.
