Eggs in Hyderabad are now selling for about Rs 7 each in retail shops, up Rs 3 from roughly two weeks ago. (siasat.com) (telanganatoday.com) Wholesale shops in the city are selling eggs at around Rs 6.30 apiece, creating a narrower gap between wholesale and kirana-store prices. (siasat.com) (hyderabadtalks.com) Poultry farmers told local outlets that high summer temperatures have raised bird deaths and lowered egg output on farms supplying Hyderabad. (siasat.com) (telanganatoday.com) Farmers said bird mortality in summer is about 30 percent higher than at other times of the year, squeezing supply just as heat stress cuts productivity. (siasat.com) (hyderabadtalks.com) The move follows a brief dip in March, when egg prices softened after exports were hit by the West Asia conflict, according to local reports. (siasat.com) (telanganatoday.com) That means Hyderabad consumers are seeing two swings in quick succession: a short March reprieve, then a late-April jump tied to weather-driven supply losses. (siasat.com) (telanganatoday.com) Daily rate trackers published this week showed Hyderabad wholesale benchmark prices near Rs 5.25, with retail listings above that level depending on seller margins. (todayeggrate.in) (todayeggrateindia.com) Across India, heat has also pushed up poultry costs more broadly, with chicken prices rising as higher temperatures reduce bird weights and increase mortality. (thehindubusinessline.com) For now, the Hyderabad story is simple: hotter weather has reduced farm output, and a basic kitchen staple has moved from Rs 4 to Rs 7 in days. (siasat.com)
