When eggs are cheapest in Namakkal
Across 17 years of data, Namakkal’s cheapest month is March (₹3.33 average per egg) and its dearest is December (₹4.16) — a seasonal swing of about 25%.
That pattern repeats most years. Demand for eggs rises through the Indian winter and falls through the hot months, while hens keep laying at roughly the same rate. If you buy in bulk — a bakery, a mess, a canteen — the seasonality chart above is your buying calendar.

What this rate does and doesn’t cover
This is NECC’s suggested wholesale rate for the Namakkal market. It is not a fixed price and nobody is obliged to trade at it. Your local shop will charge more: a retailer carries transport to the shop, handling, breakage and their own margin, so a shop price ₹15–30 above the tray figure is normal. Use this rate as your floor, not your target. Buying in bulk? How many eggs in a tray covers every trade unit — tray, peti, and the hundred.
