Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Chandigarh egg rate linked to Punjab and Haryana?

Chandigarh is a Union Territory that serves as the joint capital of Punjab and Haryana. Being a landlocked urban area with limited space for large-scale farming, it imports 90% of its eggs from the poultry belts of Punjab (Ambala, Patiala) and Haryana.
The Grain Market in Sector 26 is the largest wholesale hub for eggs in Chandigarh. It handles the bulk of the daily supply for the entire city and the Tricity region.
Prices are updated every morning at 6:00 AM IST based on the National Egg Coordination Committee (NECC) benchmark and local wholesale arrivals at Sector 26.
The Chandigarh Administration offers 35% subsidies for small urban poultry setups and provide support for cold chain infrastructure through the Animal Husbandry department.
Typically, the wholesale rate at Sector 26 is ₹0.50 to ₹0.75 lower than the retail price found in local sector markets like Sector 17 or 22.
During peak winter months (December to February), egg demand in the Tricity area rises significantly, often leading to a 10-20% price hike compared to summer rates.
