India Business Trade reports that rising feed costs are driving up meat prices nationwide.
Meat prices across India have started to rise, according to a report by India Business Trade.
The increase is linked to a surge in the cost of animal feed, a key input for livestock producers. Higher feed expenses are being passed on to consumers, leading to higher retail prices for beef, pork, chicken and other meats.
Analysts note that the trend could affect household budgets, especially in lower‑income segments, as meat remains an essential part of many Indian diets.
No official government response has been recorded yet; market observers will watch how sustained feed‑cost pressures shape broader food inflation.
