Zomato, Swiggy now levy rain surcharge on Gold, One premium users

Food delivery platforms Zomato and Swiggy have started charging a rain surcharge to their premium subscribers, ending a previous exemption for Zomato Gold and Swiggy One members.

The fee, which typically ranges between ₹15 and ₹35, was earlier waived for premium users but applied to general customers. Both companies said the surcharge is intended to support delivery executives during adverse weather conditions, The Economic Times reported.
