What It Means For Swiggy?

Swiggy's move to cap foreign investment came month after Eternal announced its plans to cap foreign ownership at 49.5% for Blinkit. The move would allow Eternal's Binkit to legally hold inventory, a key advantage for quick commerce platforms operating dark stores. The move by Swiggy is likely to benefit the company in similar fashion.
