Aimed at offering affordable food options in Pune, Swiggy, a food and grocery delivery major, has introduced a new app called Toing. The app is currently available on the Google Play Store and Apple App store and is live in select pincodes in Pune.
The app description emphasised that the latest addition will offer most dishes under Rs 250 and there will be no surge fees. The delivery charges will be capped, even during peak hours. The app will display all charges clearly, with no added fees and no hidden taxes.
“This app is designed for foodies across Pune – with local favourites, hyper-local pricing, and delivery customized to the city’s needs. Smartly designed for quick decisions: discover food options faster through intuitive categories like under Rs 99, free delivery picks, and value combos. Clear, honest pricing: we say it like it is: what you see is what you pay. All charges are clearly displayed with no added fees, no hidden taxes,” the description on the Google Play Store pointed out.
In a move to challenge the established players in the segment, bike-taxi aggregator Rapido is preparing to test its new food delivery venture, Ownly, in Bengaluru within the next eight to ten days, starting with the neighbourhoods of Koramangala, HSR Layout, and Sarjapur, as per media reports.
The company plans a cautious pilot phase to refine its model before expanding to up to ten cities by July next year. In a departure from its initial plan for a wider rollout in August, Rapido has advanced the pilot to July to gather early operational insights. The company aims to keep Bengaluru as the core market for the first few months, with a gradual move into two to three additional cities by September or October.
