FMCG major Adani Wilmar, which makes and sells edible oil and food items under the 'Fortune' brand, has tied up with online food aggregator Swiggy to deliver essential foodstuff to customers amid the nationwide lockdown to contain spread of Covid-19 (coronavirus).

As part of the tie-up, Adani Wilmar is also coming up with special combo packs containing an assortment of 4-5 products to cater to regional preferences. The firm will expand the offerings based on customer feedback and market insights.
