One number, published clearly.

The National Egg Coordination Committee declares a suggested wholesale price each morning for each of its market zones. That declared rate is the reference the trade quotes for the day. It is a wholesale figure: it does not include transport out of the market, breakage allowances, or a retailer’s margin. A shop price two to three rupees per egg above the declared rate is normal and not a discrepancy.

Every price on this site is stored as an integer number of paise per egg. Rupee amounts and the per-tray, per-hundred and per-peti figures are derived from that single integer at the moment a response is built, which means no rounding drift can accumulate anywhere in the stack.

What we do not do

• We do not average across markets and present the result as a market rate. Each market stands on its own.
• We do not fill a missing day with an invented number. If a market has not declared, its row keeps the last declared price and shows the date that price is from.
• We do not publish retail prices. Those vary shop to shop and cannot be usefully centralised.

How the site is built

Two pieces, deployed separately. A Cloudflare Worker holds the data in D1 and serves the public JSON API. A second Worker renders this site on demand, calling the first over an internal service binding so there is no public round trip between them. Pages are cached at the edge for a few minutes, which is the right trade-off for something that changes once a day.

The API is the same one the site itself uses. There is no separate internal endpoint and no private data. If you can see it on a page, you can fetch it.

Corrections

If a rate looks wrong for a market you trade in, that is worth knowing about. Send the market, the date and the rate you have via the contact form and it will be checked against the declared figure.

This site is an information service, not a price feed you should settle contracts against. Rates are republished in good faith from publicly declared figures and can contain errors or lag. For anything binding, confirm with your mandi, your supplier, or NECC directly.
