Why the Delhi Consumer Commission says Swiggy can’t claim safe harbor on Dineout pricing
The Delhi Consumer Commission ruled on September 21, 2026, that Swiggy cannot claim safe harbor under Section 79 of the Information Technology Act regarding misleading pricing on its Dineout platform. The commission found Swiggy and Themis Barbeque House jointly liable for displaying an inaccurate 'cost for two' figure, leading to higher charges for customers. This ruling could impact how intermediaries handle pricing disclosures in the future.
