Abstract: This research paper aims to explore the important factors affecting the purchase intention of organic food in the cosmopolitan cities of India, with special reference to Delhi and Bangalore. The survey instrument questionnaire was created based on proven measures. Data were collected by using email and WhatsApp for the two cities considered for the study. The research structure is developed based on the extensive literature and reveals a structural relationship between constructs. Structural equation modeling is used to investigate the relationship between constructs. The conceptual model was developed and analyzed using five constructs and 22 attributes. Among these, the strongest factor was nutritional content, followed by convenience, consumer self-identity, and sensory appeal. The findings of this study have very important implications for all stakeholders of the organic food industry, in particular for the growers and the firms that intend to expand their arena in other cities of India.
