Zomato's parent Eternal Q4 net profit falls 78% to ₹39 cr, revenue up 64%
The company's revenue from operations rose 63.7 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to ₹5,833 crore in Q4, up from ₹3,562 crore a year ago. It had reported revenue of ₹5,405 crore in the previous quarter.
On the profitability front, consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) declined 15 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹165 crore in Q4FY25, largely on account of enhanced investments in expanding the company's quick commerce store network.
For the full year, the company reported consolidated operational revenue of ₹20,243 crore, up 67 per cent from ₹12,114 crore in FY24. PAT for the full year came in at ₹527 crore, up 50 per cent from last year's ₹351 crore.
Zomato: Food Delivery
Adjusted revenue for the company's food delivery segment grew 17 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹2,413 crore, up from ₹2,050 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year. On a sequential basis, food delivery revenue was down 0.2 per cent. Food delivery, which continues to be the firm's largest revenue contributor, has been experiencing some sluggishness. The company said this was due to a weak demand environment, a shortage of delivery partners driven by high demand in the quick commerce segment, and competition from packaged food deliveries by quick commerce players.
The gross order value (GOV) decreased slightly from ₹9,913 crore in Q3FY25 to ₹9,778 crore in Q4FY25. However, GOV rose from ₹8,439 crore in Q4FY24 on a Y-o-Y basis.

The average monthly transacting customers increased slightly to 20.9 million, compared to 20.5 million in the previous quarter.
Talking about competition in food delivery, Deepinder Goyal, founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of Eternal, said: 'Competition in food delivery has always been high, and the intensity of it hasn't changed in the last quarter. Our market share has been stable for the last few months and we are hoping we can drive some share gain going forward.'
Eternal also said it delisted nearly 19,000 restaurants in the fourth quarter. These were restaurants that either did not pass hygiene standards, were mimicking established brands and misleading customers, or were operating multiple identical menu listings.
The company mentioned shutting down its in-app instant food delivery services Zomato Quick and Zomato Everyday, adding that it does not see a path to profitability in these initiatives. 'The current restaurant density and kitchen infrastructure is not set up for delivering orders in 10 minutes, which leads to inconsistent customer experience. As a result, we did not see any incrementality in demand while we ran Quick as an experiment for a few months,' Goyal said.
For Everyday, Goyal said the need for homely meals is a limited use case, largely for office locations in metros. 'We did not see enough ROI by keeping it running at a small scale,' he added.
Blinkit
The quick commerce arm of Eternal reported Q4FY25 revenue of ₹1,709 crore, marking a 122.2 per cent increase from ₹769 crore in Q4FY24. The platform's GOV for the quarter rose to ₹9,421 crore from ₹7,798 crore a quarter ago. The average order value (AOV) came in at ₹665, down from ₹707 in the previous quarter.
The platform's average monthly transacting customers also increased to 13.7 million in Q4FY25, up from 10.6 million in Q3FY25.
Blinkit opened 294 net new stores in Q4FY25 — its highest-ever net store addition in a single quarter. According to the company, Blinkit is on track to reach 2,000 stores by December 2025. It currently has 1,301 stores.
Blinkit also added one million square feet of new warehousing space for store expansion.
On adjusted EBITDA losses increasing quarter-on-quarter from ₹103 crore to ₹178 crore, Albinder Dhindsa, founder and CEO of Blinkit, said: 'As mentioned in our last shareholders' letter, the increase in losses was expected and in line with our plan to pull forward expansion of our store network.'
Going Out
For Eternal's going-out business, revenue rose 146.2 per cent to ₹229 crore in Q4FY25, compared to ₹93 crore in the year-ago period. Meanwhile, GOV jumped to ₹2,184 crore in Q4FY25 from ₹1,069 crore in Q4FY24.
The company said the District app is scaling well, and one-third of going-out GOV now comes from the app.
Going forward, the company plans to focus on improving customer experience, expanding product categories, and enhancing its footprint.
Hyperpure
Hyperpure, Eternal's business-to-business supplies vertical, saw revenue rise 93.4 per cent Y-o-Y in Q4FY25. The vertical's revenue stood at ₹1,840 crore in Q4FY25, up from ₹951 crore in the same quarter of the previous financial year.

FTA game changer for trade, investment, services for India and UK: Piyush Goyal
London: The India-UK Free Trade Agreement ( FTA ) is truly a game changer in trade, investment and services sectors, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on Thursday. The minister said it was "remarkable" that a journey which started over two decades ago culminated with a historic prime ministerial visit and in a very "fair, equitable and balanced agreement" that ensures the possibility to double India-UK trade to USD 120 billion in the next five years.

Our MSME sector will get a plethora of opportunities in aircraft parts and auto components, various engineering products. Our textiles will see a massive spurt in demand, because now on a competitive basis, we will be right on top with zero duties," he said. Whether it's leather, footwear, toys, furniture, pharma products, a very wide range of India's own strengths, which we are currently exporting in big measure across the world, will find markets in the United Kingdom, Goyal said. Live Events He also highlighted the Double Contribution Convention (DCC), which has been agreed to be enforced alongside the FTA. "Our people who come and serve in UK for short term, two years or three years, who today land up losing almost 25 per cent of their earnings in Social Security, which never gives them any benefit, will now have an opportunity under the DCC to pay this money into their provident fund account in India, and that money will be secure. That money will be giving them an over 8 per cent tax-free return and will become their pension and Social Security in the long run," he explained. The minister noted that though the parliamentary ratification process in the UK will take some time, the signing process gives businesses certainty for the long run due to bipartisan support in Britain for the agreement. "The UK parliamentary process will take a few months. The good part is that it has always had bipartisan support. It was largely negotiated when the Conservatives were in power, and today, with the Labor government, it has culminated into a robust and very fair and balanced agreement, and therefore, I think this will get cleared pretty quickly," Goyal said. "Businesses will be already planning, because there's a stable and predictable environment. The Free Trade Agreement will be known to everybody, and businesses can start integrating their supply chains and can start planning the benefits of this agreement, planning their business growth because of this agreement. So, I think the work will start right away. The benefits will start accruing in a few months," he said. At a personal level, the minister described the agreement as an "extremely redeeming and satisfying" moment that concluded with a great rapport with his UK counterpart. He added: "I feel very humbled that Prime Minister Modi reposed confidence and faith in me to be able to conclude this agreement, which has been quite complicated. "Many, many years have gone by. Talks have been on and off, but I feel very humbled by the experience. I feel very, very satisfied with the outcome, and I'm sure what started as a very difficult negotiation, but has concluded in a very friendly and very amiable relationship, will continue in the years to come to be a torch bearer for the progress and development of both countries."

'Made in India' gets UK boost: Goyal hails 'red carpet' for local products
Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal on Wednesday shared a detailed list of state-specific 'Made in India' products poised to benefit from the newly signed India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA). In a post on X, Goyal said, 'UK rolls out the red carpet for 'Made in India',' as he posted an infographic highlighting goods from across Indian states that will now get easier access to the UK market. UK rolls out the red carpet for 'Made In India' ???????????????? #IndiaUKFTA — Piyush Goyal (@PiyushGoyal) July 24, 2025 The FTA, officially signed between India and the United Kingdom, marks a significant milestone in bilateral economic relations. While the agreement involves a wide range of tariff reductions and regulatory relaxations, Goyal's post brought public attention to the practical, region-specific outcomes that could transform export ecosystems across the country. Gains from India-UK FTA: State-wise list The infographic presents a diverse spread of Indian products across states that are set to benefit from zero-duty or reduced-duty access to the UK. Here's a snapshot of key items: Signed after years of negotiation, the India-UK FTA aims to double bilateral trade to over $100 billion by 2030, from around $56 billion at present. The deal slashes tariffs across nearly 99 per cent of traded goods and opens up greater mobility for Indian professionals. India-UK FTA: Key takeaways Labour-intensive exports: Indian textiles, footwear, handicrafts, and processed foods to get duty-free entry into the UK Market access for services: Easier movement for chefs, yoga instructors, artists, and IT professionals Agricultural edge: Over 95 per cent of Indian agricultural and processed food exports—such as spices, fruits, and seafood—will enter the UK tariff-free Tariff cuts on imports: Safeguarding domestic interests Despite wide-ranging liberalisation, India has ensured that sensitive categories such as dairy, apples, edible oils, and oats are excluded from duty concessions. This balance aims to protect domestic producers while tapping into export-led growth.
