By Editor Many of you may not know this, but India quite literally is among the largest egg producers in the entire world. And sure enough, most of it is consumed and used right here in India because the demand for eggs is always high in the country. And sure enough, unlike some other type of production, with egg production, you’ll see the poultry farms doing their part in pretty much every part of the country. But still, let’s just go over this list of the Top 5 Highest Egg Producing States in India 2025, just to satisfy your curiosity. Here we go then.
1. Andhra Pradesh
If you were keeping an eye on the poultry scene in the country, it would have been quite obvious to you that Andhra Pradesh has been at the top of the list for a very long time and that it is not going to change in 2025 either. The state is going to make about 20% of the total egg production in India this year, that is approximately 27 billion eggs in total. West Godavari and Krishna are the districts that are the backbone of the production of poultry in Andhra due to their highly concentrated commercial layer farms. The reason why Andhra remains number one is not only the volume of production, but also the tightly integrated local ecosystem of feed mills, hatcheries, and transportation networks that support the state’s poultry engine overall.
2. Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu comes in second place on our list with an egg production of over 24 billion for 2025. However, a noteworthy detail is that the area of Namakkal, a little town in the state, is not only the “Egg City of India” but also the most prolific egg producer per capita in the entirety of the country. It is the core of the egg industry in Tamil Nadu, where numerous feed and layer farms are working side by side. Such a cluster arrangement provides Tamil Nadu with a strong cost-benefit ratio and enables it to hold about 16% of total egg production in India.
3. Telangana
At #3, Telangana is demonstrating that it is more than just a rice-producing state. The state is the king of the Indian poultry sector, too, with almost 20 billion eggs anticipated to be produced this year, which translates to a 13% national share. The interesting thing about Telangana is that the state’s ascent is largely driven by its closeness to urban markets such as Hyderabad and the use of advanced feed-milling technology. In the state, eggs have unexpectedly become an important agricultural sector, which indicates how quickly the poultry economy can grow if the right infrastructure and demand are met.
4. West Bengal
At number four is West Bengal, which is predicted to generate roughly 17 billion eggs by the year 2025. The massive population and healthy local demand, particularly in Kolkata and neighboring metros, are the features that make this eastern state different from others. Actually, the majority of eggs that are produced are used in the state only. Besides, the state is supplying the eggs to the North-East region.
5. Karnataka
Karnataka is ranked 5th and is expected to produce around 10 billion eggs in 2025. Cities like Bengaluru, Mysuru, and Davanagere are behind this increase in production. The three cities account for the state’s poultry production triangle, and thus, the urban centers have become the real drivers of the growth. Karnataka’s growth is not comparable with that of other states, where large commercial farms have taken over. In fact, the state’s success is largely due to the development of the small and medium-sized farms, which have been growing for some time now because of the demand from the city and the food service sector. That’s how it got to the top 5, like slow and going safe wins the race, as the saying goes.
Conclusion
With these top 5 states, you’ll see that the egg production is kinda steady and is growing every single year. That’s good news ultimately, but there are a few other states as well that are rising up in the ranks slowly, and maybe some of those states will make it to this list in the coming few years or so.
