Bengaluru, 2 December: Food delivery and quick delivery platform owner, Swiggy has expanded its 10-minute food delivery service Bolt to over 400 cities.
In a statement on Monday, the company said initially launched in Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, New Delhi, Mumbai, and Pune, Bolt is now active in cities like Jaipur, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Indore, Coimbatore, and Kochi as well.
The company launched Bolt in Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, New Delhi, Mumbai, and Pune in October.
Swiggy has expanded the 10-minute food delivery service to Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities such as Roorkee, Guntur, Warangal, Patna, Jagtial, Solan, Nashik and Shillong among others, it added.
Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have witnessed the highest adoption for Bolt followed by Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, West Bengal, Rajasthan and Punjab, it further said.
"To ensure safety of delivery partners, they are not informed of the distinction between Bolt and regular orders, and there is no incentive for fast delivery. The delivery radius for Bolt is limited to 2 km as of now which also increases familiarity and enables faster delivery," the company said.
The speed of delivery is optimised by prioritising delivery executives closest to Bolt outlets, it added.
Bolt focuses on dishes that can be delivered without compromising on taste, freshness, or quality. It delivers food from more than 40,000 participating restaurants with a range of over 10 lakh items to choose from.
It has partnered with KFC, McDonald’s, Burger King, Baskin Robbins, and Starbucks, as well as local establishments such as Gwalia Sweets in Ahmedabad, Karachi Bakery in Hyderabad, Shiraz in Kolkata, and Irani Cafe in Pune.
