Cafe Niloufer Makes: Hyderabad’s legendary Irani chai destination, Café Niloufer, is not just a cultural icon but has emerged as a business giant-moved-supplied-20,000 customers to all of their branches, their daily operations show mind-boggling volumes and impressive profits. Let’s break down what Café Niloufer earns in a single day and what goes into running such a high-volume tea empire.
According to the estimation made in April 2025, Niloufer earns anywhere approx from ₹30–35 lakhs per day, running at a monthly rent of ₹40 lakhs. With over 20,000+ daily customers (excluding their latest branch), this comes to approximately ₹150–175 per customer on average.
5,000+ liters of milk per day, sourced likely from 800–900 buffaloes, considering lactation cycles.
Tea powder estimations range from 250 to 300 grams per 10 liters, resulting in roughly 125 to 150 kg tea leaves also consumed by the cafe in a given day.
If milk costs ₹60/liter and tea powder costs ₹500/kg:
Milk cost/day: ₹3-3.5 lakhs
Tea powder cost/day: ₹62,500-75,000
Highlight: Maska Bun and Osmania Biscuit Sales
Next to chai are Maska Bun (₹25-₹30 each) and Osmania biscuits (₹15-₹20/piece), which are bestsellers at Café Niloufer. About 10,000-15,000 maska buns and biscuits are sold on an average day, bringing in ₹3-4 lakhs of revenue.
