The popular Indian food ordering apps Zomanto and Swiggy are down right now. Users have reported on Twitter that they are unable to place orders or browse the menus and listings.

This is reportedly the second outage of the day as the apps went dark for half an hour prior to the current outage. Both Swiggy and Zomato have reported that they are facing temporary glitches and are working to fix them soon.

The main cause of the issue appears to be a technical glitch with Amazon Web Services and this could be the reason for the Swiggy and Zomato outage in India.

The issue has sadly surfaced during lunch hours leaving many Indian users vexed and hungry.

Separately, the food delivery platforms recently got into hot waters with the Competition Commission of India (CCI) which ordered an investigation into the Swiggy and Zomato apps to verify if they were “neutral.” (via Reuters)

The order came months after the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) asked the CCI to investigate the companies for breaching platform neutrality by providing priority to exclusive contractors.
