"food-orders"

Fuel shortages in Hyderabad due to Middle-East tensions have disrupted LPG and CNG supplies, hitting app-based drivers and food delivery workers. Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union (TGPWU) has sought urgent government intervention into the matter.

"Please avoid ordering during peak afternoon unless absolutely necessary," Zomato wrote on X.

The company, which currently charges Rs 5 as a platform fee to customers, clarified it had 'teased' to a "very small set of users" of Rs 10 as an experiment but was never implemented.
