How much do eggs cost in India?
Egg prices in India vary widely by region, type, and time of year.
Key Factors Influencing Egg Prices in India:
- Feed Costs
Poultry feed (mainly maize and soybean meal) accounts for 60–70% of production costs. Prices fluctuate due to global grain markets and domestic monsoon patterns. - Energy & Transport
Rising diesel and electricity rates increase the cost of cold storage, farm operations, and egg distribution—especially in rural or long-distance markets. - Labour & Farm Costs
Labour availability, cost of veterinary care, and biosecurity measures all impact egg prices. - Supply Volatility
Disease outbreaks, high temperatures, or reduced layer productivity can reduce supply and spike prices. - Seasonal Demand
Prices typically increase during festivals (Diwali, Eid, etc.) and winter months when egg consumption is higher. - Market Preferences
Demand is rising for free-range, brown, Omega-3 enriched, and organic eggs, which command a premium. - Import-Export Balance
India occasionally exports to Gulf countries. A strong export cycle can tighten domestic supply and drive up prices.
