Large orders during the festive season are quite common.

The fleet was launched on the day of the Haryana elections. Here are all of the other important details that you would need to know about this new launch.
Swiggy Launched XL EV Fleet In Gurugram For Bulk Orders
According to a press release which was recently shared by the food-ordering platform, this fleet was launched on Friday, October 4, 2024. The launch was on the day of the Haryana elections and in order to commemorate the launch, the XL EV fleet delivered a whopping 3,500 meals.
The meals were delivered across 580 polling booths in Badshahpur and Gurugram regions. This service was provided to the district administration free of charge. Officials said that in the coming weeks, the service will be extended to other cities as well.
The EV is equipped with temperature-controlled compartments that allow your food to remain at optimal temperature. The food was delivered by a fleet of 20 XL EVs. This move is also environment-friendly as it saves multiple orders and since the vehicles are electronic, there will be lesser carbon emissions.
To Ensure No Delay In Large Order For Festive Celebrations
Speaking about the launch, Sidharth Bhakoo, who is the national business head of Swiggy Food Marketplace said, “Food is also very closely associated with conviviality and mirth, so we are witnessing demand for bulk orders when families and friends get together.”
He went on to say, “The festival season is perhaps the best time to launch this service, when there is gaiety and joy all around, and everyone celebrates with their loved ones. Swiggy XL will ensure that there is no interruption in parties and gatherings and no delay in large orders.”
