Shares of Swiggy and Zomato's parent company, Eternal, fell as Rapido plans to enter the food delivery business with a fixed delivery fees model.
Rapido has finalized a fixed fee model with restaurants, where they will pay Rs 25 for orders up to Rs 400 and Rs 50 for orders above Rs 400 on its app.
The move by Rapido challenges the commission-based models of Swiggy and Zomato, as they focus on addressing concerns of restaurants over commission rates and margins.
Swiggy's shares dropped by 4% and Eternal's by over 1% in response to Rapido's announcement of entering the food delivery space with a new fee model.
