Babushahi Bureau
Ludhiana (Punjab), December 12, 2024 – Swiggy Ltd (NSE: SWIGGY), India’s pioneering on-demand convenience platform today announced the expansion of its 10-minute food delivery service Bolt to the city of Ludhiana.
Bolt is redefining delivery of fresh and quick-to-prepare food from popular restaurants and QSRs in just 10 minutes. Swiggy has expanded Bolt to 400+ cities across the country and is delivering over 10 lakh items from more than 40,000 participating restaurants. Customers in Ludhiana will have the option to choose from 8.6k dishes from 13 cuisines across 356 restaurants in the city.
Bolt features a selection of highly popular cuisine types like burgers, snacks, bakery items, beverages, sweets, ice creams, breakfast items, and biryani that require minimum preparation time or are ready to pack.
Customers can choose from a mix of well-known national brands like KFC, McDonald's, Subway, Faasos, Curefoods, and Burger King, along with regional favourites like IGP Cakes, Havmor Ice Cream, Sagar Ratna and Veer ji malai chaap wale. Customers in Ludhiana can order from a range of top restaurants including K Chawla Ice Cream & Sweets, Rishi Vegetarian Dhaba (RVN), Vipan Vaishno Dhaba, Natural 2, Basant (Fountain chowk), Aman Chicken (Shastri Nagar), and Basant (Dugri). In Ludhiana, Bolt contributes over 7.1% to the overall orders.
Designed for speed, Bolt delivers a range of dishes without compromising on taste, freshness, or quality. Launched initially in Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, New Delhi, Mumbai, and Pune, Bolt is now active not only in emerging hubs such as Jaipur, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Indore, Coimbatore, and Kochi, but also in Tier 2 and 3 cities such as Roorkie, Guntur, Warangal, Patna, Jagtial, Solan, Nashik, Shillong amongst others.
Swiggy is focussed on ensuring that Bolt caters to the increasing demand for quick and fresh food delivery across both urban and smaller cities and towns.The 10 minute delivery is made possible by partnering with restaurants that excel in quick order turnarounds, focusing on dishes requiring minimal to no preparation time and restricting the delivery radius to 2 km. To ensure safety of the delivery partners, they are not informed of the distinction between Bolt and regular orders, and there is no incentive for fast delivery.
Sidharth Bhakoo, National Business Head, Swiggy, said, “Bolt is the next innovation from Swiggy, aimed at providing unmatched convenience to customers across India. Expanding Bolt to 400+ cities enables us to deliver fresh, crispy, hot and high-quality food from leading restaurants to millions of customers in just 10 minutes. For the first time, people are getting food from their favourite restaurants to their doorstep, in just 10 minutes. Whether it’s warm and fluffy Idlis, the ever-popular Gajar Halwa or the famous Sarson Da Saag, we are making beloved dishes more accessible to customers in the city of Ludhiana. ”
