Egg Prices Skyrocket in India's Biggest Cities

Egg Prices Skyrocket in India's Biggest Cities

Egg prices have gone up a lot in big cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.

Each egg now costs more than ₹7, which is about 25-50% more than before.

This is happening because it's winter, and hens are laying fewer eggs.

At the same time, more people want to buy eggs for health, weddings, and to boost their immunity.

In Maharashtra, they are short of 15 million eggs every day.

The wholesale price of eggs has also gone up by ₹1.

The Poultry Federation says it will take time to increase the supply, so people might have to pay these higher prices until after February.

So, your breakfast is going to be more expensive for a while!
