Egg prices in Hyderabad burn a hole in pocket

Savoring your favorite kind of omelet is going to prove costly as the prices of eggs in the city are on an upward trend. With a shortage in supply of these protein orbs in Hyderabad, the prices have shot up compared to last



summer.

While the cost per 100 units of eggs was Rs 420 on May 4 last year, this year it has gone up to Rs 445. Market experts attribute this to the increasing temperatures and higher chicken mortality rates.
