# Swiggy, Zomato Get Sept 1 Deadline as Restaurants Extend Boycott Call 2026-08-07T18:28:16+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Swiggy has agreed to refund promotional charges allegedly levied on restaurant partners without consent, following negotiations with industry bodies including BBHA, NRAI, and FHRAI. The foodtech platform's CEO Rohit Kapoor and other senior executives were part of the talks. As a result, restaurant associations have extended their deadline for delisting from Swiggy to September 1 from August 15. Zomato also secured a similar reprieve after meetings, pushing its deadline to September 1. More than 250 Bengaluru restaurants are threatening to delist from the platforms, citing unsustainable costs from high commissions, forced discounts, and opaque payouts. Their demands include transparent commission structures and an end to unilateral deductions. The standoff comes as Rapido's zero-commission food delivery app Ownly has captured nearly 10% of Bengaluru's online market within five months, with Flipkart also planning to launch its own service soon. ## Coverage - ndtvprofit.com - ndtvprofit.com - inc42.com Tags: Bengaluru, commissions, delivery platforms, restaurant associations, Swiggy, Zomato Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/zomato-gets-deadline-reprieve-as-swiggy-faces-aug-15-boycott/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
