The price of eggs in Odisha is expected to increase to ₹15 each, prompting worries among shoppers.
Kanak News Odisha reports that the market price of eggs in the state is slated to rise to ₹15 per unit. The adjustment, announced by local market authorities, marks a noticeable increase from the current rate and is expected to take effect in the coming days.
Consumers have expressed apprehension, noting that eggs form a staple source of protein for many households. The higher cost could strain family budgets, especially among low‑income groups that rely on eggs for daily nutrition.
Industry analysts suggest that the hike reflects broader trends in input costs, including feed and transportation, which have pressured poultry producers across the region. No official statement on the duration of the new price has been released yet.
The state government has been urged to monitor the impact on consumers and consider measures to stabilize essential food prices, though no specific interventions have been announced so far.
