Zomato, Swiggy call claims of antitrust probe by CCI as ‘misleading’
Zomato addressed the claims of the antitrust investigation by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) into its business practices, and called them “misleading”.
Home-grown restaurant search and delivery platform Zomato on Friday introduced the “Infinity Dining” plan for its “Gold” subscribers that allows them to have the entire a la carte menu at partner restaurants.
The plan has been introduced in partnership with 350 restaurants – with at least a 3.5 rating — in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru.
While dining infinitely at bars, they get access to an open bar at a fixed price, Zomato said.

“Dining out constitutes about 70 per cent of a restaurant’s total business,” Gaurav Gupta, Chief Operating Officer & Co-founder, Zomato, said in a statement.
“While Zomato Gold continues to be instrumental in driving sales for restaurants and adding value to subscribers, we realise that the opportunities in this sphere are endless – welcome, Infinity Dining. It is a global first, as India becomes the first country to offer such a choice, at scale,” Gupta added.
Zomato said its Gold subscription programme has grown almost 100 per cent in the past eight months and now has over 1.25 million subscribers across nine countries- India, UAE, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand, Lebanon, Turkey, Philippines and Indonesia.
