Maggi Vendor at Rohtang Pass Reports Rs 14,000-15,000 Daily Sales in Off-Season
A Maggi vendor at Rohtang Pass in Himachal Pradesh reportedly earns Rs 14,000 to Rs 15,000 daily during the off-season by selling 60-70 plates of Maggi at Rs 100 each and about 200 cups of tea at Rs 40 each. Content creator Harsh Chauhan shared a video of his conversation with the seller, highlighting the significant turnover despite low tourist footfall. The figures represent gross sales, not net profit, and the vendor also sells eggs occasionally. The video sparked interest in the earnings of small roadside businesses in mountain areas.
