A person's post read, “In Coimbatore, it's 60 we have the best supply from Pollachi, but still it's up.” Another commented, “When I was travelling from Bangalore to Pondicherry, a coconut cost me around ₹100-120. In between the journey, it cost me around ₹10, and at Pondicherry, it cost me around ₹80.”

Some said that prices in Bangalore are not that high. A fourth user wrote, “Don't know where you're drinking the tender coconut water from. It's ₹70- ₹80 at Marathahalli.”
