Bengaluru: Tomato prices soar to ₹100/kg due to supply crunch

India Nov 29, 2025

Tomato prices in Bengaluru have shot up from ₹30 to as much as ₹100 per kg in just a month, thanks to unseasonal rains and crop diseases hitting major growing areas like Bengaluru Rural and Nashik.
The sudden spike has made everyday cooking more expensive for many households across the city.

Other veggies hit too, with no quick fix yet

It's not just tomatoes—veggies like broccoli and capsicum are pricier now too, piling on extra costs for shoppers already feeling the pinch of high food inflation.
The lack of proper cold storage is making things worse, and cities like Delhi and even Andaman & Nicobar Islands are seeing similar price jumps in tomato prices.
Relief depends on better weather and fresh harvests in the weeks ahead.
