Swiggy (Swiggy Ltd, NSE: SWIGGY / BSE: 544285), India’s leading on-demand convenience platform, has announced the launch of several new features for its Food on Train service, coinciding with the festive season. These enhancements aim to provide smarter, personalized menu options, offering a delightful culinary experience to millions of train passengers across India. Travelers can now select from a variety of ‘City Best’ dishes, which highlight iconic restaurants available at different stations. Additionally, Swiggy has introduced Easy Eats, ensuring a seamless dining experience while on the train. The Easy Eats selection features meals specifically curated for train dining, ranging from Healthy Nibbles like salads to Fun Munchies such as fries and nachos, all packaged neatly with an accompanying cutlery kit.
A new Pure Veg section has also been launched for vegetarian customers and those observing fasts during Navratris, simplifying the search for delicious, reliable 100% vegetarian meals. Furthermore, travelers can now take advantage of the new Offer Zone, providing instant access to over 30 top deals for Food on Train orders, including discounts of up to 60% at leading restaurants. This festive season, passengers can choose from more than 5,000 dishes and have them delivered directly to their train seats across over 115 stations. From traditional thalis in Ahmedabad to flavorful seafood curries in West Bengal, Swiggy is committed to delivering the best of local Indian flavors right to travelers’ seats.
Deepak Maloo, VP – Food Strategy, Customer Experience & New Initiatives at Swiggy, commented on the new features, stating, “We’ve listened to our customers and are thrilled to introduce a selection of smarter, personalized meal choices designed to enhance every journey. With City Best, we’ve eliminated the uncertainty of ordering, allowing travelers to easily find trusted, high-quality meal options from celebrated restaurant partners known for their excellent food, hygiene, and generous portions. Easy Eats addresses the inconvenience of messy meals on-the-go, while our Pure Veg section provides peace of mind for vegetarian travelers.
Ultimately, we aim to highlight that the journey is just as important as the destination!” By integrating curated options, trusted quality, and efficient technology, Swiggy is dedicated to enabling customers to place orders faster, ensuring they feel confident in their choices even while traveling. These features not only simplify food discovery but also allow users to order up to 25% more quickly. Swiggy’s upgraded Food on Train Page is designed for speed, functioning effectively even on unstable internet connections. With nearly 1.6 million reserved passengers traveling on India’s long-distance trains daily, meal options have traditionally been restricted to pantry car food or what’s available at station stalls, often lacking in hygiene, variety, and convenience.
Swiggy’s Food on Train service addresses this void by delivering hot meals from reliable local restaurant partners straight to train seats at over 115 stations.
