Swiggy's Food on Train service has expanded to 201 railway stations, up from 66 stations in 2024, the company announced on Thursday. Among the new locations are Kolhapur, Wardha, Shahdol, Kakinada, Bharatpur, Chittoor, Thanjavur, Raigarh, Jamnagar, Indore, and Tundla. Sidharth Bhakoo, Swiggy's Chief Business Officer, stated that the service has experienced significant growth since its launch in March 2024 and has gained widespread adoption among various consumer groups, including Gen Z. The online food delivery firm also highlighted interesting trends in the evolving food habits of train travelers.
Over the past year, passengers have shifted away from fast food and carbonated drinks towards healthier options like lassi (up 60%), buttermilk (up 40%), and mojitos (up 90%). Standard fizzy drinks have seen a considerable decline in orders. Additionally, the Food on Train service is witnessing a resurgence in traditional and regional comfort foods, with full meals comprising over 65% of all train orders.
Sweet orders have more than doubled, with rasgullas leading the trend. Train travelers are also ordering iconic local specialties, such as Pyaz Kachori in Jaipur, Poha in Bhopal, and various Biryani variants in South and Central stations. Notably, Haldiram's thalis are leading in Nagpur, and local seafood thalis are among the top orders in Madgaon, Goa.
