Zomato suspends hyperlocal goods delivery service Xtreme, restarts Intercity Legends: sources

Indian food delivery platform Zomato has suspended its hyperlocal goods delivery service, Xtreme, due to low demand. Xtreme, launched in October 2021, aimed to provide small intracity deliveries for both small and large merchants. However, the service did not gain traction, leading to its suspension. Zomato has also relaunched its intercity food delivery offering, Legends, with a new model that allows customers to curate orders from different restaurants across the country. This comes after Zomato faced legal issues for delivering pre-stocked items instead of direct restaurant deliveries.

Food delivery company Zomato is planning to bring back its hyperlocal logistics service, Xtreme, in a different form. Initially aimed at both small and large merchants for intracity deliveries, Xtreme will now focus on leveraging Zomato's core food delivery strength. The service will cater to restaurants that want to maintain their own ordering channels while benefiting from Zomato's last-mile delivery quality. The business model is still being developed but is expected to incorporate Zomato's current distance-based fee mechanism. Despite recent experiments, food delivery remains Zomato's primary business, accounting for almost 60% of its gross order value.
