Crisil Reports Rise in Home-Cooked Thali Costs Due to Higher Food and LPG Prices
Crisil Intelligence's July report shows that higher prices of onion, vegetable oil, and LPG increased the cost of a home-cooked vegetarian thali by 4% year-on-year, while a non-vegetarian thali rose 9%, mainly due to a 14% rise in broiler prices. Supply disruptions from unseasonal weather and energy price hikes linked to the West Asia conflict contributed to these increases. Lower potato and tomato prices partially offset the rise. Month-on-month, vegetarian thali costs rose 2%, driven by onion and potato price increases.
