The marginal increase in thali price for non-vegetarians is due to a three to five per cent drop in the price of broiler chicken, which accounts for almost half the cost of a thali, the report said. It has been said that due to a fall of two percent in the price of vegetable oil on a monthly basis, there has been some relief from the increase in the cost of both types of plates.
Preparing ‘Vegetarian Thali’ became 28 per cent costlier in July as compared to June due to rising tomato prices. The unit of a rating agency gave this information in a report on Monday. CRISIL’s ‘Roti Chawal Rates’ report for August said non-vegetarian thali were relatively less impacted and the cost of preparation increased only by 11 per cent. The report said that the inflation in thalis was largely due to the 233 per cent increase in the prices of tomatoes. Tomato prices touched Rs 110 per kg in July, while it was Rs 33 per kg in June.
Crisil said the average cost of preparing thali at home is calculated based on the prevailing cost of commodity prices in North, South, East and West India.It has been said that this is the third consecutive month for the price of the plate to be expensive. It said that this is the first time in the financial year 2023-24 that the prices have become expensive even from year-to-year perspective. On a monthly basis, onion and potato prices increased by 16 per cent and nine per cent, respectively, adding to the cost, the report said. Chilli prices rose 69 per cent in July compared to June, Crisil said, but since the requirement for cooking food is marginally lower, its impact on plate preparation is limited.
