As Maggi's popularity soared, it once enjoyed a 90 per cent market share which has now declined to 60 per cent amid competition with brands like Top Ramen, Wai Wai and Knorr. The street fare is also sold at the ubiquitous Maggi stalls that dot the vast swathes of India - even in the Himalayan heights of Ladakh bordering China - where hikers and travellers line up near mountain passes to grab a quick bite.
