There was opposition in Tirunelveli to the appropriation of governments funds to this scheme. As an example, the Coimbatore Municipal Corporation reported a loss of approximately ₹2.64 for an idli, ₹9.73 for a unit of sambar rice and ₹4.44 for a unit of curd rice, incurring a total loss of about ₹2.70 crore (US$350,000) a year. It has been reported that massive losses are incurred by corporations by offering food at very low rates. The dishes are offered at low prices: ₹1 for an idli, ₹5 for a plate of sambar rice, ₹5 for a plate of "Karuvapellai Satham" (Curry leaves rice) and ₹3 for a plate of curd rice. The food chains primarily serve South Indian food including idli, saambar rice, curd rice, pongal, lemon rice, curry leaf rice and also chappathi. Three of the ten canteens in Coimbatore are partially solar-powered. The first canteens were opened in several localities of Chennai, and later in other corporations of the state. The scheme requires municipal corporations in the state to establish canteens at multiple places in cities and sell subsidised food at very low prices.
