The exorbitant prices of Indian groceries in London have left netizens astounded. Imagine having to pay Rs 300 for a packet of Maggi that costs Rs 28 in India. This stark price difference has gone viral, thanks to a video shared by Chavi Agarwal, a social media influencer from Delhi now living in London. On a virtual tour of an Indian grocery store in London, Chavi highlighted the shocking price discrepancies.
In the video, Chavi showcases the visuals of a London supermarket and discusses the high costs of Indian products abroad. She notes that vegetables readily available at low prices in India are sold at steep prices in London. For instance, a packet of Lays costing Rs 20 in India is priced at Rs 95 in London, while a small packet of Maggi costs Rs 300. Chavi further reveals that a packet of paneer costs Rs 700, six Alphonso mangoes are priced at Rs 2400, lady’s finger (okra) is Rs 650 per kilogram, and bitter gourd is Rs 1000 per kilogram.
