The Crisil Intelligence report said the decline in vegetarian thali cost on-year was due to a sharp drop in prices of vegetables on a high base.

For tomato, weak summer sowing is expected to lead to a sequential increase in prices, adding to the upward pressure on thali costs, the report said.

Notably, tomato prices fell 24 per cent on-year to Rs 32 per kg in June from Rs 42 per kg in June 2024, driven by a high base effect linked to lower yields last year. Prices of potato and onion declined 20 per cent and 27 per cent on-year, respectively, on a high base.

Along with lower vegetable prices, an estimated 3 per cent on-year drop in broiler prices drove down the cost of a non-vegetarian thali, said the report.
