Chennai benefits from its proximity to Namakkal — India's egg capital — which keeps prices relatively competitive despite being a major metro. The city is a key distribution hub for Tamil Nadu, with eggs moving daily from Namakkal's farms (about 350 km away). NECC South Zone rates for Chennai typically reflect Namakkal pricing plus transport costs. Koyambedu market is Chennai's main wholesale hub for eggs. Demand peaks during school exam seasons and non-vegetarian festivals in Tamil Nadu.

At local retail shops in Chennai, eggs are typically sold at ₹7–₹8 per egg, slightly above the NECC wholesale rate.
