CRISIL’s recent analysis reveals a 1% decrease in the cost of a vegetarian thali in India in February compared to the previous year, attributed to the lower prices of tomatoes and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). On the other hand, the cost of a non-vegetarian thali witnessed a 6% increase during the same period, primarily driven by the surge in broiler (chicken) prices. These fluctuations in thali costs reflect the ongoing changes in food prices across the country, impacting consumer spending patterns. The data highlights the importance of monitoring key food items like vegetables and protein sources in understanding the inflationary trends in India’s food market.
