The new Pure Veg Mode of Zomato will consist of only veg restaurants and will exclude any restaurants that serve or cook non-veg items. Additionally, the orders placed through this mode will be picked and delivered by Zomato’s Pure Veg Fleet carrying green delivery boxes. “Our dedicated Pure Veg Fleet will only serve orders from these pure veg restaurants. This means that a non-veg meal, or even a veg meal served by a non-veg restaurant will never go inside the green delivery box meant for our Pure Veg Fleet,” said Goyal in a post on X (formerly Twitter). Furthermore, the company has also announced plans to add more specialised fleets for special customer needs.  “For example, there’s a special cake delivery fleet coming up with hydraulic balancers which prevent your cake from getting smudged during delivery”, he explained.
