Thali Costs Drop: Veg & Non-Veg Prices Fall Sharply
8 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Vegetarian and non-vegetarian thali costs decreased significantly year-on-year in November.
- Improved vegetable supply and falling pulse prices contributed to the cost reduction.
- Future onion prices may rise, while potato and pulse costs are expected to stabilize.
The cost of dining on thalis, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, experienced a notable decline of 13% in November compared to the previous year. This reduction is largely attributed to easing prices for essential vegetables and pulses. Factors such as increased tomato arrivals, a correction in potato prices from a high base, and a sharp fall in onion costs due to abundant supply and reduced exports significantly impacted thali expenses.
