New Year’s Eve on Swiggy is truly a feast for India! From late-night biryani cravings to massive savings on dining out, we’ve witnessed celebrations like never before. Huge shoutout to our partners and teams for making this NYE unforgettable!” said Rohit Kapoor, CEO, Swiggy Food Marketplace.

NYE 2025 was a record-breaking night for Swiggy, with food delivery orders soaring nationwide. Biryani remained India’s favorite, with a chicken biryani delivered in just 164 seconds in Nellore. Cakes were a close favorite too, with 2,96,711 orders adding sweetness to the celebrations.

This is not it, In Delhi, a user saved an impressive ₹41,142 through @swiggydineout, making it a double celebration!

On NYE, people started ordering their favorite burgers early, with 116,099 burgers ordered by 6:30 PM. As for pizza, it was a big hit, with 2,24,590 orders placed by 9 PM—guess these folks are in it for the long haul, even before the party’s started!”

What’s truly remarkable is that Swiggy delivery partners collectively traveled an astounding 65,19,841 kilometers today – that’s 8 times to and fro from Earth to the Moon – to ensure celebrations across the country were nothing short of spectacular.

Mr. Kapoor also took a playful dig, comparing how Kochi out ordered Lucknow this NYE—looks like their cricket team could take notes from their food delivery game.
