 "Costlier vegetables made your thali more expensive by 9% in May: CRISIL")
Costlier vegetables made your vegetarian thali dearer by 9 per cent to Rs 27.8 in May, up from Rs 25.5 the same month last year, according to ratings agency CRISIL.
A vegetarian thali has roti, onion, tomato, potato, rice, dal, curd, and salad. A non-vegetarian thali has the same foods but chicken (broiler) replaces dal. The average cost of a home-cooked thali is calculated based on input prices in North, South, East and West India.
“The cost of the veg thali increased owing to a surge of 39 per cent, 41 per cent and 43 per cent year-on-year in the prices of tomato, potato and onion, respectively, largely because of the low base of last fiscal,” CRISIL said in its Roti Rice Rate report, released on Thursday.
