Bengaluru Hotels Raise Food Prices by 10-15% Due to Rising Ingredient Costs
Hotels and restaurants in Bengaluru have increased food and beverage prices by 10-15%, citing rising costs of essential ingredients like rice, milk, curd, and pulses. Rice prices have risen from Rs 65 to Rs 95 per kg in the past month, impacting menu items such as idli, dosa, tea, and coffee. Hoteliers say these hikes are necessary to offset higher input costs amid inflation, while some are limiting increases to minimize customer burden. Further adjustments may depend on price clarity from suppliers.
