Swiggy aims Rs 10,000 crore EBITDA over next five years
Swiggy is a big company in India that delivers food and groceries to people's homes.
Swiggy's leaders held a big meeting in Mumbai to share their plan for the next five years.
They promised that by 2031, Swiggy will finally make lots of money and become very profitable.
Right now, Swiggy still loses a little money, but the loss is much smaller than it was last year.
One part of Swiggy, called Instamart, delivers groceries very quickly and has already started getting closer to making money.
Another part, called Dineout, helps people book tables at restaurants and is already earning a small profit.
Swiggy is also offering cheaper food through its budget brand Toing to attract new customers.
The company believes that more and more people in India will order food online in the coming years.
Swiggy's leader, Sriharsha Majety, said he is confident the company can reach its goals.
If everything works out, Swiggy will become an even bigger and stronger company.
At its Capital Markets Day in Mumbai, Swiggy set a five-year target of Rs 10,000 crore adjusted EBITDA, with consolidated gross order value more than tripling to about Rs 2.5 lakh crore by FY31 from Rs 67,734 crore in FY26.
In Q1FY27, Swiggy's net loss narrowed to Rs 791 crore from Rs 1,197 crore a year earlier, while revenue rose 28.66% year-on-year to Rs 6,812 crore.
Quick commerce arm Instamart, which crossed contribution margin breakeven in May, targets GOV of over Rs 1.5 lakh crore and about Rs 4,000 crore adjusted EBITDA by FY31; it operated 1,171 dark stores across 131 cities at end-June.
Food delivery aims to grow GOV 2.5-3.5 times and reach about Rs 5,000 crore segment EBITDA by FY31 with budget brand Toing (now in 50 cities); articles differ on its current EBITDA (Rs 1,001 crore in FY26 vs Rs 292 crore).
Dineout posted its first full year of positive adjusted EBITDA in FY26 with GOV of about Rs 4,600 crore and targets Rs 20,000-25,000 crore GOV by FY31, while Swiggy holds Rs 14,400 crore cash with no debt and domestic ownership crossed 50% on July 1.
