The price of vegetarian thali has increased.
The price of vegetarian thali has increased by 11 percent in September. This increase is mainly due to the increase in the prices of vegetables.
Increase in vegetable prices
A huge increase has been observed in the prices of onion, potato and tomato. The price of onion has increased by 53 percent, the price of potato by 50 percent and the price of tomato by 18 percent.
impact of low inflow
The prices of onion and potato have increased due to low arrivals. This means that their availability in the market has reduced. The prices of tomatoes have also increased. This is because of heavy rains, which affected production.
Increase in the price of pulses
The prices of pulses have also increased. Due to the decrease in production last year, the prices of pulses have increased by 14 percent. Pulses account for 9 percent of the cost of a vegetarian thali.
Decrease in the price of non-vegetarian thali.
At the same time, the price of non-vegetarian thali has fallen by 2 percent. This fall is due to the reduction in the prices of broilers. Broiler meat is 50 percent of the total price of non-vegetarian thali.
reduction in fuel prices
According to the report, fuel prices have fallen by 11 percent. In September last year, the price of a 14.2 kg LPG cylinder was Rs 903. Now it has become Rs 803. The reduction in fuel prices has prevented the cost of the thali from increasing.
Expectations ahead
Experts believe that onion prices will improve after the supply of Kharif crops. Potato prices are also likely to fall. However, tomato prices may remain high.
calculation of average cost
The average cost of the thali is calculated based on the input prices prevailing in North, South, East, and West India.
It is worth noting that it is clear from this report that the cost of food thali is being affected due to various reasons. Consumers will have to take care of these changes. The rising prices of vegetables are making the vegetarian thali expensive, while the prices of non-vegetarian thali are decreasing. The effect of this fluctuation in food items will be felt in every household.
