The average order value (AOV) increased 39.7% YoY to Rs 697, driven by continued traction from Maxxsaver, its basket-building proposition, and expansion into non-grocery categories.

The company said that, in an industry first, Instamart successfully completed the inaugural Quick Commerce sale called the Quick India Movement, showcasing over 30,000 SKUs to the majority of consumers. The contribution margin improved to -2.6% (+202 bps QoQ) on the back of expanded basket sizes, optimization of customer incentives, and operating leverage. Overall, the Quick Commerce segment posted a loss of Rs 849 crore for the quarter, while the adjusted EBITDA margin improved to -12.1% from -15.8% in Q1.

Sriharsha Majety, MD & Group CEO, Swiggy, said Swiggys Food delivery business delivered another quarter of robust growth and improved profitability, with the double digit YoY order growth at the highest in 2 years. This was led by acceleration in user-growth on the back of new propositions like Bolt, 99-Store, Deskeats and Health-focused curations; all aimed at covering the entire breadth of user expectations.

Instamart made giant strides in catering to all purchase-missions through Maxxsaver (grocery) and Quick India movement (non-grocery), driving up AOV 40% YoY. A ~200 bps QoQ Contribution margin improvement showcases our commitment to drive scale-led, sustainable and profitable growth in Quick-commerce, led by best-in-class speed and selection."
