Swiggy Shares Rise 5% After Company Sets ₹10,000 Crore Adjusted EBITDA Target for FY31
Shares of Swiggy Ltd. rose approximately 5% after the Indian food delivery and quick-commerce company announced an ambitious financial target of achieving ₹10,000 crore in adjusted EBITDA by fiscal year 2031 (FY31). The announcement is among Swiggy's most detailed long-term profitability roadmaps since its public listing on Indian stock exchanges in November 2024, giving investors a multi-year benchmark to assess the company's transition from loss-making growth to sustained profitability.
Food Delivery to Remain the Largest Profit Driver
Swiggy expects its core Food Delivery business to generate around ₹5,000 crore in adjusted EBITDA by FY31, making it the company's largest profit driver. The company projects its Gross Order Value (GOV) to grow 2.5 to 3.5 times over the next five years, driven by a combination of affordability initiatives and efforts to increase customer ordering frequency.
The company highlighted that affordability programs, including a initiative called Toing, will play a central role in stimulating demand and expanding its customer base.
June-Quarter Performance
Swiggy's announcement follows its June-quarter results, in which the company reported a narrower net loss that exceeded analyst estimates, as losses in its quick-commerce segment continued to shrink.
Dineout and Instamart Targets
Beyond food delivery, Swiggy outlined growth targets for its other business segments. Dineout, the company's dining-out and restaurant reservation platform, and Instamart, its quick-commerce arm, are both expected to contribute to the company's long-term profitability goals. Instamart, which competes with Blinkit in India's rapidly expanding quick-commerce market, has been a focus area for Swiggy as it seeks to reduce losses in the segment. India's quick-commerce sector has intensified as a competitive battleground, with Zomato-owned Blinkit and well-funded rival Zepto also racing to capture market share, making the path to segment profitability a critical metric for Swiggy's overall financial trajectory.
AI and Profitability Outlook
Swiggy also addressed its investments in artificial intelligence as part of its broader strategy to improve operational efficiency and drive profitability across its business lines.
Swiggy, headquartered in Bengaluru, operates one of India's largest online food delivery platforms and competes primarily with Zomato (now Eternal) in the food delivery space. The company was listed on Indian stock exchanges and trades under the ticker SL24.
