# Hyderabad egg prices touch Rs 96 per dozen amid supply crunch 2026-11-15T05:11:21+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Outlets counted: siasat.com Egg prices in Hyderabad have surged to Rs 96 per dozen in retail, up from Rs 80 in early August, adding to household costs as other essentials also rise. The wholesale price climbed from Rs 80 to Rs 90 four to five days ago and then to Rs 96, with retail per-egg rates moving from Rs 6 to 7 to Rs 7.50 to 8. Traders cite tight supplies, lower production, bird deaths and reduced bird numbers in poultry farms. Rising feed and input costs have further burdened poultry farmers. Retailers report insufficient arrivals to meet steady demand, forcing price increases. Fine rice has also risen from Rs 5,600 to 6,400 per quintal a month ago to Rs 6,600 to 8,000 per quintal. No immediate relief is in sight, as poultry farmers say higher feed costs and lower productivity continue to affect egg production. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The price rise hits Hyderabad households already grappling with higher rice and vegetable costs. The Rs 16 jump per dozen in under two weeks points to a structural supply squeeze, not seasonal fluctuation, with poultry farmers citing feed costs and bird mortality. With no date given for price stabilisation, consumers face continued pressure on their monthly budgets. ## Coverage - siasat.com Straight price report with trader and retailer quotes, no government or political framing.
