Last week had a puncture and paid Rs 30/- for one puncture for car. This was near Sringeri a temple town 330 kms away from Bangalore. In Bangalore, its roughly around Rs 35/-

In Hampi I had a puncture in my rear wheel of my moped. 15/-!

I am assuming you mean a motorcycle?

In Delhi i would say the average rate that would work out is between 40 - 50 INR. One of those things you cant really haggle on...

I did mean motorcycle! You could always push yours to Hampi to save some rupees! It's downhill from Delhi isn't it?

rsk11584 · Oct 5th, 2009, 23:18

even in aurangabad i paid 15 rs for motorcycle, actually i knew he asked 60 rs is too much, but what could I do? fight with him, kill him and burn his shop.

No Thanks , id rather pay the 60 bucks

On a serious note , maybe a little too expensive for a bike puncture , but its ok , prices differ place to place..

Dear a tube costs around 220 rs, why dont you chennai people revolt. Feel really screwed up, and people think its normal rate for a meagre puncture.

bsprasad · Oct 5th, 2009, 23:51

Dear RSK,

The rates for Puncture has been steadily growing from 30rs and now its 50 - 60 rs.

For how many things in this country we can revolt for..?

Alright, I will revolt from tomorrow that I will not pay 60Rs for a puncture. Who's gonna repair my tire.

Do you know, how many puncture repair guys will drop nails in the road wantedly to get business. Can you identify them and revolt.

can you tell me the end result. The end result will be like this. You will be left with a punctured tire and that's it.

Quite , for now lets just try and ensure that we dont have pilots who abandon the cockpit and start wrestling with the crew

Maybe that's why these places often have a sign that says Puncher Shop.

If this guy's spelling capabilities are the same as his pencher repairing capabilities, then we are in trouble...

(By the way, the going rate for repairing a car tubeless tyre puncture in Mumbai is around 100 rs)
