The wholesale price ladder, oil by oil, for Chennai
CSI publishes one price list for everyone: a buyer in Chennai pays the same listed price as a buyer in Pune; only the delivery differs. What changes with pack size is the price per gram — and on this range it changes far less than most people assume.
| Oil | 15 g | 50 g | 100 g | 500 g | 1 kg | 1 kg vs 100 g |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jasmine | ₹6.87 | ₹4.60 | ₹4.30 | ₹3.92 | ₹3.92 | 8.8% cheaper |
| Sandalwood | ₹6.21 | ₹5.43 | ₹5.03 | ₹5.03 | ₹5.03 | no saving |
| Raat Ki Rani (Night-Blooming Jasmine) | ₹8.67 | ₹7.40 | ₹7.00 | ₹6.77 | ₹6.77 | 3.2% cheaper |
| Lemongrass and Lime | ₹7.77 | ₹6.60 | ₹5.90 | ₹5.20 | ₹5.20 | 11.9% cheaper |
| Mango Coconut | ₹6.21 | ₹5.00 | ₹5.00 | ₹3.96 | ₹3.96 | 20.7% cheaper |
| Gardenia | ₹7.00 | ₹4.46 | ₹4.33 | ₹4.33 | ₹4.33 | no saving |
Where the price break is real — and where it is not
Across the core candle range, the kilogram is meaningfully cheaper per gram than 100 g on only a handful of oils: Mango Coconut (21%), Roasted Coconut (19%), Eucalyptus Spearmint (13%), Lemongrass and Lime (12%), British Rose (10%), Pumpkin Spice (10%). On 14 oils the kilogram costs exactly ten times the 100 g pack, and on 6 — Blue Ocean, Smoked Rose Royale, Midnight Bakhoor Royale, Sultan's Smoke, Jasmine Coconut Spa Ceylon — ten 100 g packs are a few rupees cheaper than one kilogram.
The reseller maths: what the oil costs inside a finished candle
For a 200 g candle at 8% using Sandalwood bought by the kilogram and Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 (flakes) at ₹507.40/kg: oil ₹80.43, wax ₹93.36, wick ₹5.90 — ₹179.69 in core materials, before the jar, label, packaging, labour, freight and GST.
Scale that to an example order — an OMR company ordering Deepavali gifts, 600 candles of 200 g — and the fragrance oil is 9.6 kg, or about ₹48,257. That is the number to use when a customer asks for a wholesale price per candle: know your oil cost per unit before you quote.
Who buys this way in Chennai
OMR or Guindy corporate-gifting vendor. Deepavali and Pongal gifting. Clean or spa-like scents work well in offices.
Say that buyer pours 600 candles of 180 g. At 8% each candle takes 14.4 g of oil, so the run needs 8.64 kg — about 8.6 kg in total, split across however many scents the run carries. If it were all Lemongrass and Lime, the oil would cost about ₹44,928 at the 1 kg price.
| Oil | 1 kg | Oil per 180 g candle | Candles per kg | Oil for 600 (single scent) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lemongrass and Lime | ₹5,200.00 | ₹74.88 | 69 | ₹44,928.00 |
| Sandalwood | ₹5,026.80 | ₹72.39 | 69 | ₹43,431.55 |
| Jasmine Coconut Spa Ceylon | ₹7,999.00 | ₹115.19 | 69 | ₹69,111.36 |
A second Chennai buyer: lamp and diya maker for karthigai deepam. Small fills in very large numbers. At 80 g, a kilogram of oil at 8% makes about 156 candles. For 1,000 candles of 80 g at 8%, the oil comes to 6.40 kg — with Raat Ki Rani (Night-Blooming Jasmine) at ₹6,774.00 per kg, about ₹43,354.
What Chennai changes about wholesale buying
Chennai is hot and humid all year, with May–June highs near 40°C; unlike most of India, its main rains come with the north-east monsoon from October to December. Chennai's rainy season lands on top of Deepavali shipping. Order festive oil and packaging earlier than a Delhi or Mumbai maker would, and wrap every outer carton for the rains.
| Months | Conditions | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| March–June | Hot and humid, highs near 40°C in May–June | Test at your load for sweating; keep finished stock cool. |
| July–September | Hot, some rain | The window to buy and test festive oil before the rains. |
| October–December | North-east monsoon — Chennai's main rains | Overlaps Deepavali and Karthigai Deepam shipping: order earlier and wrap outer cartons. |
Chennai's main rains arrive with Deepavali, not before it. That flips the usual advice: buy and test festive oil in August–September, not October.
Because the main rains arrive in October, Chennai's festive shipping happens in wet weather. Poly-wrap the outer cartons and tape every seam.
Chennai makers work in warmth all year. That makes a candle sit closer to its sweating point than it would in Delhi in winter, so a slightly lower working load is often the better formula here.
Year-round warmth means a candle sits closer to its sweating point than it would up north — test for sweating at your chosen load before a festive run. Deepavali on 8 November, Karthigai Deepam in late November or December, and Pongal in mid-January make this a lamp-heavy season.

The two columns on the right of the calendar are working back from the festival: six weeks to test a new oil in your wax and jar, and four weeks to have production quantities on the shelf. They are planning margins, not delivery promises — transit time to Chennai is confirmed on WhatsApp when you order.

Assumptions: Candle maths use an illustrative 8% fragrance load by weight (16 g of oil and 184 g of wax in a 200 g candle), which is within the stated range of every oil on this page that publishes one; "per candle" material costs include oil, wax and wick only and exclude the vessel, label, packaging, labour, freight and GST. Wax stated fragrance maximums are the wax maker's formulation limits, not regulatory limits. Worked examples (e.g. "a T. Nagar gift store adding a jasmine-and-sandal line") are illustrations, not customers. Per-gram comparisons use listed prices only.
Calendar: Navratri begins 11 October 2026; Dussehra 20 October 2026; Dhanteras 6 November 2026; Diwali 8 November 2026; Makar Sankranti / Pongal mid-January 2027.
