Online food ordering platform Zomato aims to add 20 warehouses, totalling about 7 lakh sq. ft, across the country by 2020, as part of its Hyperpure programme.
Currently, Hyperpure by Zomato operates one warehouse each in Bengaluru and Delhi. The 40,000 sq ft Delhi warehouse was launched on Monday.
Hyperpure by Zomato provides restaurants with fresh and high-quality ingredients, including vegetables and fruits, poultry, groceries, meats, seafood, and dairy, the company said in a statement.

“With Hyperpure by Zomato, we’ve been able to disintermediate the supply chain, providing restaurateurs access to fresh, clean, fully-traceable food ingredients,” Zomato co-founder and COO Gaurav Gupta said.
The Delhi warehouse is designed to supply 5,000 metric tonne (MT) capacity per month and equipped to serve 3,000 restaurants every day.
