McDonald's Prices in India: What to Expect

India presents McDonald's with a unique challenge — no beef or pork on the menu. The McAloo Tikki burger, Maharaja Mac made with chicken, and Masala Dosa wraps are entirely India-specific innovations that have made the chain one of the most locally adapted in the world.

McDonald's in India is cheaper than the United States, with prices approximately 58% lower overall. A Big Mac costs ₹243.00 (about $2.52 USD), compared to $5.99 in the US. The cheapest item on the menu is the Hot Tea at ₹52.33 ($0.54 USD), while the most expensive is the 40pc McNuggets at ₹526.98 ($5.46 USD).

A typical meal — a main, a side, and a drink — will cost roughly ₹534.60 (about $5.03 USD). If you're ordering delivery through Uber Eats or Swiggy, expect to add 15-25% on top of that for platform fees, service charges, and delivery.
