Zomato adds new charges for long-distance deliveries; restaurants unhappy

Popular food delivery app, Zomato has started charging a new “long distance service fee” for food orders that are delivered more than 4 km away.

According to a report by The Economic Times, the Gurugram-based company will now charge customers ₹15 for deliveries between 4 and 6 km if the order value is more than ₹150. For orders going beyond 6 km, the fee will be between ₹25 and ₹35, depending on the city. This fee applies no matter how much the customer spends.
