Zomato entered into «exclusivity contracts» with partners in return for lower commissions, while Swiggy guaranteed business growth to certain players if they listed exclusively on its platform, according to non-public documents prepared by the Competition Commission of India (CCI).
Exclusivity arrangements between Swiggy, Zomato and their respective restaurant partners «prevent the market from becoming more competitive,» the CCI's investigation arm noted in its findings reviewed by Reuters on Friday.
The CCI documents are not public, in line with its confidentiality rules, and were shared with Swiggy, Zomato and the complainant restaurant groups in March 2024. Their findings have not been previously reported.
Zomato declined to comment, while Swiggy and the CCI did not respond to Reuters queries.
