What the reporting says
The cost of a home-cooked vegetarian thali rose 10% year-on-year in September to ₹30.8, up from ₹28.1, according to Crisil’s Roti Rice Rate report. The non-vegetarian thali rose 6% to ₹59.5 from ₹56, with higher onion, vegetable oil, rice and LPG prices and slower broiler-price increases cited. The immediate effect is higher household meal costs, but the report does not say how long the pressure will last.
