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.

Swiggy might soon begin delivering food using unmanned drones in India. The food delivery service is set to begin trials for both food and medical packages along with its drone delivery partner ANRA Technologies.

According to a Gadgets360 report, ANRA Technologies has finally got clearances from the Ministry of Defence (MoD), the Directorate General of Aviation (DGCA), and the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MOCA) to commence drone trials for delivering food. The firm has also got clearances for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations. ANRA has launched its first sortie earlier this week. In the next couple of weeks, the ANRA team will also conduct BVLOS food and medical package delivery trials in Etah in Uttar Pradesh and Rupnagar in Punjab.

The principal program manager of Swiggy, Shilpa Gnaneshwar, stated that the new project will enable the company to “put the long range proficiencies of drone technology to best use. To smoothen and fasten the last mile journey, it only becomes natural for us to explore the latest avenues available to maximize the benefit to our consumers.” Furthermore, Amit Ganjoo, the founder and CEO of ANRA stated that “our technology may soon help deliver food and medical packages to underserved populations.”

Similar to Swiggy, the Google backed Indian delivery service, Dunzo, has also announced that it was set to pilot drone delivery of medicines under the ‘Medicine from the Sky’ project launched by the Telangana government. This project also seeks to deliver emergency medical supplies that could even include coronavirus vaccines and other essentials as well.
