Bengaluru (Karnataka), March 17, 2025 (ANI): Swiggy Instamart, India's leading quick commerce platform, has expanded its lightning-fast 10-minute delivery service to 100 cities across the country.
This milestone follows the addition of 32 new cities in 2025, including Raipur, Siliguri, Jodhpur, and Thanjavur, meeting the surging demand for instant deliveries beyond metro areas.
