Consumers will get a minimum 50 per cent discount on products, mostly food, on some ONDC platforms on June 18. Coinciding with Father’s Day, the platform will kick off its ‘Super Saver Sundays’ offer.
“All the participants will offer exclusive discounts starting at 50 per cent and even higher on select food delivery orders at some of the popular food chains like Rebel Food brands (Faasos, Oven Story, Behrouz Biryani), McDonald’s, WowMomo, Pizza Hut, Barbeque Nation and Barista on delivery orders throughout the day,” said government-owned Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) in a statement.
ONDC’s network participants, including magicpin, Paytm, Phonepe’s Pincode and uEngage, are coming together to make the platform’s offer accessible to customers. The Super Saver Sunday on June 18 is expected to be the first of such events that will bring the best of hyperlocal delivery at the consumer’s doorstep at the best prices. “This initiative is not limited to these participants only and others too are expected to join,” it added.
According to a recent report by GlobalData, a data and analytics company, ONDC can trigger a price war in the Indian e-commerce market, which is set to cross $100 billion by 2024. Both vendors and consumers realise considerable cost savings on transactions as ONDC does not charge any third-party service fees.
