Tamil Nadu Egg Prices Hit Record High
Egg prices in Namakkal, Tamil Nadu, have reached a new high of ₹6.25 per egg.
This is the highest price ever recorded in the region.
The price has been going up slowly over the past month.
People are buying more eggs because it's winter and there are festivals like Christmas and New Year.
Even though some people don't eat eggs during the Sabarimala pilgrimage, it hasn't affected the price this year.
The price is expected to stay high until the Pongal festival in mid-January.
Egg prices in Namakkal, Tamil Nadu, have reached a new all-time high of ₹6.25 per egg.
The price has been increasing steadily since November, with the previous high being ₹6.10 per egg.
The increase is due to higher demand during the winter months and festive seasons like Christmas and New Year.
Export demand and steady movement of eggs to North India have also contributed to the price rise.
Prices are expected to remain high until the Pongal festival in mid-January unless there is a significant change in supply or demand.
