Swiggy Targets ₹ 10,000 Cr. Adjusted EBITDA by FY31, Driven by Focus on Affordability and Quick Commerce Growth​

Mumbai, India – Swiggy Limited has outlined ambitious operational and profitability goals for its long-term strategy, aiming for a consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of approximately ₹ 10,000 Cr. by the end of fiscal year 2031 (FY31). The company projects that its total Gross Order Value (GOV) will grow significantly, moving from ₹ 67,734 Cr. in FY26 to approximately ₹ 2.5 Lakh Cr., representing a 30%+ consolidated GOV Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR).

Commenting on the vision, Sriharsha Majety, Managing Director and Group CEO of Swiggy, stated that confidence in achieving the five-year EBITDA goal is rooted in solid fundamentals. He emphasized operating in three of India's largest and fastest-growing consumer opportunities: food delivery, quick commerce, and out of home consumption.

Divisional Goals and Trajectory​

Swiggy’s growth strategy is segmented across its core businesses: Food Delivery, Dineout (Out-of-Home Consumption), and Instamart (quick commerce).

Food Delivery Focus:
The food services market in India is anticipated to grow from around $90 billion in 2026 to approximately $150 billion by 2031. Swiggy is leveraging two key levers within this space: closing the user frequency gap—as roughly 70% of current users transact less than once a month—and cracking affordability, which could unlock an additional 5-7 percentage points of category growth.

For Food Delivery, Swiggy expects GOV to grow 2.5-3.5x and aims for approximately ₹ 5,000 Cr. in Adjusted EBITDA by FY31, driven by initiatives focused on affordability. In Q1 FY27, the Food Delivery business posted a GOV of ₹ 9,490 Cr., marking an 18% year-on-year increase, with an adjusted EBITDA runrate of ₹ 292 cr.

Dineout’s Path to Profitability:
Dineout, the company's out-of-home consumption segment, is targeting a clear path toward ~5x topline growth and ₹ 1,000 Cr. in Adjusted EBITDA by FY31. The business demonstrated positive Adjusted EBITDA for the first time in its full year of FY26.

Current metrics for Dineout:

• FY26 GOV: ₹ 4,600 Cr. (up 51% YoY)
• Active Partners: Over 52,000 monthly active restaurant partners across 75 cities.

The segment is projected to scale five times over the next five years, with GOV expected to reach ₹ 20,000–25,000 Cr. by FY31. Adjusted EBITDA is forecast to grow from ₹ 30 Cr. in FY26 to ₹ 1,000 Cr. by FY31, indicating a significant margin expansion from 0.6% toward 4%+ over the period.

Instamart: Narrowing Losses and Targeting Scale:
The quick commerce segment, Instamart, saw GOV reach ₹ 7,907 Cr. in Q1 FY27, showing a 40% year-on-year rise. The company reported that the Contribution Margin loss narrowed to -0.2% of GOV, representing a 5.4 percentage point improvement since Q4 FY25. Instamart now serves over 14 million monthly transacting users through a network of more than 1,200 dark stores across 130+ cities.

Progress in unit economics includes an increase in Revenue per Order (up ₹ 25) and a decrease in Cost per Order (down ₹ 3) since Q4 FY25. This progress has led to over 45% of the store network being Contribution Margin-positive, with five of seven top cities, including Bangalore, operating profitably.

Instamart is targeting an immensely larger GOV business exceeding ₹ 1.5 Lakh Cr. by FY31, which represents a 4-5x jump from the ₹ 28,000 Cr. achieved in FY26. The company plans to achieve this through building a larger monthly transacting user base of over 40 million consumers.

Platform Strategy and Financial Health​

Beyond segment-specific growth, Swiggy is focused on continuous technological advancement, shifting toward AI-native operations across five core engines: Demand, Fulfilment, Partners, Monetisation, and Building. This includes internal AI tooling like SAGE, an analytics assistant for operating teams.

In terms of overall financial health, the company reported a cash balance of ₹ 14,400 Cr. and remains debt-free. Earnings per share are anticipated to improve from -₹ 16 in FY26 to a range of ₹ 30–33 by FY31.

Swiggy is also focused on building a fortified competitive advantage through platform offerings. Instamart is scaling the "Switch" proposition, which involves brand partnerships and two owned brands, Noice and Nectr, across various categories.
