Makhana 1kg Price Chart 2026 (By Grade)

| Lawa | 18–24mm | ₹1,400 – ₹1,800 | Daily snacking |

Why Bulk (1kg) Costs Less Per Gram Than 100g Packs
A 100g pack of premium makhana costs ₹299 (≈₹2,990/kg equivalent). A 1kg pack of the same grade costs ₹1,800–2,200 (so ₹1,800–2,200/kg). Why the 30–40% drop?
- Per-unit packaging cost falls — one big bag vs ten small bags.
- Shipping cost per gram drops significantly.
- Brand margin reduces on larger orders.
- Reduces overall handling and storage cost.
For families that go through 200g+ of makhana per month, buying 1kg packs (or our 1kg combo) cuts your annual cost by 30%+.
