Uber Eats reaches 28 cities in India including Trichy

Restaurant delivery service Uber Eats announced the expansion of its operations in five more cities in India, taking the total number of cities to 28.
The new cities added include Tiruchirappalli, Surat, Nashik, Ludhiana and Mysore. In the last 6 weeks, Uber Eats expanded its operations to 11 cities across the country.
Commenting on the development, Uber Eats India Head Bhavik Rathod said India continues to be the fastest growing market for Uber Eats in the Asia Pacific region and globally.

“As urbanisation picks up in the country, we look for opportunities to take our service to newer cities and expand our network, especially in Tier 2 cities, which we believe, offer tremendous potential for the food tech industry," he said.

Since its launch in May 2017, the focus of the business has been to take the service to newer cities. Uber Eats has more than quadrupled the number of orders in the last three months and records nearly 50% month-on-month growth.

Rathod said the company looks forward to continue to learn from our experience in India and make food ordering effortless for everyone.
Currently the service has the strongest presence in the south of India with Vijayawada and Madurai being the first two cities where Uber Eats launched before the Uber rides business.
