Tomato price online — टमाटर (Tamatar)

Tomato listings normalise to ₹28–₹95 per kilogram across Indian grocery delivery apps, with a typical price of ₹55/kg as of 2 September 2026. Zepto is the cheapest in this dataset at ₹42/kg, and Swiggy Instamart the dearest at ₹98/kg — a 132% difference for the same vegetable.

On 26 normalised observations, Zepto holds the lowest median at ₹42/kg. That ranking is national and moves with your dark store, so treat it as where to look first rather than a settled answer.

Cheapest Dec-Feb. The Jun-Aug monsoon gap is when tomato headlines happen — ₹100+/kg is a monsoon story, not a normal one.

For gravy buy the deep-red, slightly soft hybrid; for salad buy firm and lighter red. Country tomato is more sour and cooks down faster. Ordering online removes that check, so the practical substitute is to buy from apps that photograph actual stock and to reject on delivery rather than after cooking.

Counter, not fridge, until fully ripe — cold kills the aroma. Once ripe, the fridge buys you two or three more days.

Organic, exotic and pre-cut tomato listings run about 2.3x the everyday price — roughly ₹124/kg against ₹55/kg. Whether that is worth it is your call; the point is that it is a deliberate 126% premium, not a rounding difference.
