Zomato expands food delivery services to 300 cities

Food aggregator company, Zomato has now expanded its food deliverybusiness to more than 300 cities in India. With the addition of more than 100 cities in a few weeks, the online food delivery platform has crossed its recent 200-city milestone, the company said in a statement.

The newly launched 100 cities include Bhuj, Junagadh, Rishikesh, Shimla, Mussoorie, Hosur, Nagercoil, Ayodhya, Raebareli, Chikmagalur, Bhatkal, Kharagpur, Chhapra, Begusarai, Hazaribagh, Ramgarh, Jalna, and Parbhani, the company said.

“There are 40 cities in India with a population of over a million and over 380 cities in India with a population of over 100,000. When you fundamentally move beyond the 40 cities to the 380, you are truly representing India. In this phase, Punjab and Andhra Pradesh were the most active states, with the highest number of launches. As we expand, we are also focusing on improving our average delivery time, which now stands at 30.5 minutes. Every new city is a new mini-chapter for me. We are sprinting forward to let the real India have a taste of Zomato and for Zomato to deliver to more of India, ” said Mohit Gupta, CEO of Zomato Food Delivery.

Zomato is bolstering its presence in the Northeastern states. Being already present in Guwahati and Nagaon, the company has now launched services in Silchar, Dibrugarh, and Agartala, Zomato said.
