Swiggy just dropped its Q4FY25 performance update—and let’s just say, there’s a lot to chew on (pun intended). From food delivery gains to Instamart’s supercharged growth, the company’s numbers are serving up some real momentum.
Let’s break it down in a simple, easy-to-digest format.
Metric | Q4FY25 | Q3FY25 | YoY Growth |
---|---|---|---|
Food Delivery GOV Growth | ↑ 18% YoY | — | Driven by more users, orders, and higher ticket sizes |
Contribution Margin (CM) | 7.8% | 7.4% | A nice 40 bps bump |
EBITDA Margin (% of GOV) | 2.9% | — | Leaner, more profitable |
Instamart GOV Growth | ↑ 101% YoY ↑ 20% QoQ | — | Explosive growth! |
New Stores (Instamart) | 316 | — | Rapid expansion |
Revenue Growth (Consolidated) | ↑ 44% YoY | — | Largely led by Instamart |
Swiggy’s food delivery game is staying strong. With a Gross Order Value (GOV) jump of 18% year-on-year, the growth was driven by:
More people ordering (hello, Monthly Transacting Users!)
Customers ordering more frequently
A higher Average Order Value (AOV)
And it’s not just about more orders—it’s about better margins too. Swiggy pulled off a Contribution Margin (CM) of 7.8%, which is higher than the 7.4% in the previous quarter. That’s a big deal in this space. It also translated into an EBITDA margin of 2.9% as a percentage of GOV—meaning the business is not just growing, it's becoming more efficient too.
Now, let’s talk about Swiggy’s quick commerce play—Instamart. This segment is clearly having its moment, with GOV growing a massive 101% YoY and 20% QoQ.
What's fueling that growth?
316 new stores opened during Q4
Continued focus on customer acquisition
Smart scaling in high-demand areas
Here’s a quick visual snapshot:
That said, all this expansion comes at a cost. Instamart’s profitability has taken a bit of a hit due to high customer acquisition and rapid store rollouts. But that’s par for the course in quick commerce.
Swiggy’s keeping its foot on the pedal. The analysts have retained a “BUY” rating, and they’ve even revised the target price upward to ₹415 (from ₹400 earlier). That’s a clear vote of confidence.
Here’s why:
Solid 18% CAGR expected in food delivery GOV over FY25–28
Smart scaling with improving margins
High-growth potential from Instamart, despite short-term losses
Of course, it’s not all smooth sailing. A couple of things to watch out for:
Instamart’s losses could continue near-term thanks to tough competition and expansion costs.
Margins in food delivery could face pressure if costs go up or user growth plateaus.
Swiggy’s Q4 results clearly show a company that’s scaling smartly, balancing growth with improving margins. Whether it’s your go-to app for biryani or bananas, the business side of Swiggy is cooking up a strong comeback.
