The Maharashtra government has suspended the operating licences of 12 warehouses belonging to online grocery giants Blinkit, Zepto and Swiggy, citing regulatory violations.
The Maharashtra government announced today that it has suspended the operating licences of 12 warehouses run by e‑commerce and quick‑delivery platforms Blinkit, Zepto and Swiggy.
The licences were revoked after a review by the state’s food safety and licensing authorities found that the warehouses were operating without the required permits and were not in compliance with local regulations.
The move is part of a broader crackdown on unlicensed food storage and distribution facilities in the state, aimed at ensuring food safety and fair competition among delivery services.
The affected warehouses, which were used for stocking groceries and ready‑to‑eat items, will be shut down until the companies obtain the necessary approvals and meet regulatory standards.
The state government has urged all logistics and delivery operators to verify their licences and adhere to Maharashtra’s food safety laws to avoid similar suspensions.
