Veg thali prices rise by 7 pc, non-veg down by 7 pc
Jaipur, April 05, 2024.
The on-year cost of a representative, home-cooked vegetarian thali rose by seven per cent and non-vegetarian thali declined by seven per cent in March 2024, CRISIL MI&A Research said.
The cost of the veg thali increased due to a surge of 40 per cent, 36 per cent and 22 per cent on-year in prices of onion, tomato and potato, respectively, due to lower arrivals of onion and potato and low base of last fiscal for tomatoes, Crisil said.
Amid lower arrivals, prices of rice (accounting for 13 per cent of the veg thali cost) and pulses (9 per cent) increased 14 per cent and 22 per cent on-year, respectively, it said. The decrease in the cost of the non-veg thali was due to 16 per cent on-year fall in broiler prices on a high base of last fiscal, Crisil said.
