UDAN Yatri Cafe: List of Indian airports where you can get samosa, chai, water bottle & more for Rs 10

The government-backed UDAN Yatri Cafe has now expanded to 17 airports across the country, offering budget-friendly meals to passengers.

With tea priced at just Rs 10 and snacks available at minimal rates, the initiative is quickly gaining popularity among travellers looking to cut costs at airports, where food is typically expensive.

What Is UDAN Yatri Cafe?

UDAN Yatri Cafe is part of the government’s UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) scheme, aimed at making flying more inclusive for the common citizen.


The concept focuses on providing affordable food and beverages at airports without compromising on basic quality. Unlike premium airport outlets, these cafes are designed for everyday travellers who want simple and economical options.

The list continues to grow as the government expands the initiative to more cities.

What’s on the Menu?

The highlight of UDAN Yatri Cafe is its extremely affordable pricing. Travellers can expect:

• Tea starting at around Rs 10
• Samosas and snacks at low prices
• Simple meals cheaper than regular airport outlets

The menu is basic but sufficient, focusing on quick, affordable options rather than luxury dining.

Why This Initiative Matters

Airport food has long been associated with high prices, often making it difficult for budget travellers and families to dine comfortably.

UDAN Yatri Cafe addresses this issue by offering a low-cost alternative. It is particularly helpful for:

• Frequent flyers looking to save money
• First-time travellers unfamiliar with airport pricing
• Families travelling on a budget

By making food more affordable, the initiative also enhances the overall travel experience.

What Lies Ahead?

With 17 airports already covered, more UDAN Yatri Cafe outlets are expected to open in the coming months. The long-term goal is to make affordable food a standard feature at both major and regional airports across India.

UDAN Yatri Cafe is a small but meaningful step towards making air travel more inclusive. By offering meals at prices as low as Rs 10, it ensures that passengers no longer have to overspend on basic food while travelling.

As the network expands, this initiative could redefine how travellers experience airports in India.
