Starbucks has increased the prices of several products across its menu in India by nearly 5–10 percent.
The decision was taken by Tata Consumer Products, which operates Starbucks outlets in India through a joint venture.
The price hike has been linked to increasing coffee bean costs, packaging expenses, higher rent and rising employee salaries.
Customers visiting Starbucks stores in India may now have to pay more for coffee, snacks and beverages.
The move reflects the pressure faced by restaurant and café chains due to rising operating costs.
