Zomato increased the platform fee from Rs 7 to Rs 10, which will be charged to customers besides the delivery fee per order.
"This Diwali, we went against the current trend and took some hard platform pricing decisions. Result: More than Half a Million orders, Love and Support received during the long festive weekend! This is 2X of what we did last year," Sharma said in a post on X.
