This is applicable for Zomato Gold in India, Australia, Indonesia, Lebanon, New Zealand, the Philippines, Portugal, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This new four-month Zomato Gold extension is in addition to the previous two-month one, which takes it to a total of six months. 4e492i

“We are extending all Gold hips across countries by four more months (total of 6 months extension now),” Zomato founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal said in tweets early on Monday. “This covers India, UAE, Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Philippines, Indonesia, Turkey and Lebanon. In March, initially, we extended Gold hips by two months — acknowledging that dining out plans would be affected, but hoping things would get better quickly.

“India and all our other Gold countries are still a few months away from being able to use and enjoy their Zomato Gold benefits. In India though, continue to avail Gold privileges on food delivery. We will continue to monitor the situation very closely, and make every effort to ensure customer and staff safety when restaurants open up again and are ready to welcome Gold ," Goyal added.
