An Indian online food ordering and delivery platform, Swiggy delivery team is on indefinite strike as they are seeking pay hike.
The strike was started on October 8 and has since then affected the services of Swiggy in the Mumbai region. Meanwhile, Zomato’s services haven’t been impacted yet by the strike.
One User said, “If you’ve been facing delayed delivery times + “Instamart unavailable” / “unserviceable in your area” messages all weekend, it’s because of the Swiggy strike in Mumbai. Sad to see no coverage of this and neither any word from @Swiggy. Customers deserve more clarity!”

There are various people who took to social media platform X (formally Twitter), One Twitter user said, “@SwiggyInstamart the Andheri west (Lokhandwala) store of Instamart is closed for hours now. Any updates on when will it open again? PIN code 400053″
Another user wrote, “Hey @SwiggyInstamart @Swiggy @SwiggyCares, explain to me how adding products and removing them makes your Instamart closed and open. Let me guess, you want to charge a rain surcharge on Swiggy Instamart orders. You don’t want the order price to be 200 and give free delivery.”
