Synopsis

Crisil reports that the average cost of a home-cooked vegetarian thali fell to ₹26.3 in April, a one-year low, due to decreased vegetable prices. Similarly, the non-vegetarian thali cost dropped to ₹53.9. Experts anticipate thali costs will remain low as edible oil, wheat, and pulse prices are expected to soften in the coming months.
