Cost of veg and non-veg thali drop in June as vegetable prices ease

The cost of preparing both vegetarian and non-vegetarian thalis at home fell year-on-year in June, helped by a drop in key vegetable prices, according to the latest Roti Rice Rate report by Crisil Intelligence.
Veg, non-veg thalis get cheaper in June
The average cost of a vegetarian thali declined 8 per cent compared to June last year, primarily due to a sharp fall in the prices of tomato (down 24 per cent), potato (20 per cent), and onion (27 per cent).
The decline has been attributed largely to a sharp correction in vegetable prices as supply chains normalised and rabi yields improved. Last year had seen supply issues, caused by blight, poor weather, and lower rabi onion acreage.
Non-vegetarian thalis were also cheaper, with the average cost falling around 6 per cent year-on-year. This was largely driven by an estimated 3 per cent drop in broiler chicken prices, which typically make up half the cost of a non-veg thali.
Edible oil, LPG costs rise
Meanwhile, edible oil prices rose 19 per cent over the past year, despite cuts in customs duties, as benefits have not fully reached consumers. LPG cylinder prices, which directly affect cooking costs, also increased by 6 per cent year-on-year, partially offsetting the savings on food ingredients.
Tomato spike drives up thali cost
The month-on-month trend also showed a slight reversal. The average price of a vegetarian thali rose by 3 per cent in June to ₹27.1, up from ₹26.3 in May. A 36 per cent spike in tomato prices during the month, caused by an 8 per cent fall in market arrivals, contributed to the increase. Potato prices edged up by 4 per cent, while onion prices held steady.
Non-veg thali cost increased by 4 per cent in the same period. A 5 per cent rise in broiler prices, attributed to lower supply caused by extreme summer heat
What is the Roti Rice Rate?
The Roti Rice Rate is a tracker of home-cooked meal costs across north, south, east, and west India. It factors in the average prices of ingredients such as cereals, pulses, vegetables, spices, edible oil, and LPG, reflecting the regional fluctuations that influence the final cost of a meal.
A vegetarian thali includes roti, rice, dal, vegetables, curd, and salad. In the non-veg version, dal is replaced by broiler chicken

Premium motorcycle market gains ground in India as consumer preferences evolve: Crisil

India's two-wheeler industry is accelerating towards premiumisation, with higher-capacity motorcycles gaining traction among consumers. According to a report by Crisil Intelligence, the share of premium motorcycles—those with engine capacities above 150cc—rose to 19 per cent in FY25 from 14 per cent in FY19. This shift reflects evolving consumer aspirations and increasing affordability, especially in urban and semi-urban centres. Growth of multiple segments Crisil noted that the volume of premium motorcycles climbed to 23 lakh units in FY25, up from 19 lakh units in FY19. The trend is expected to continue, with premium motorcycle market share projected to reach 22 per cent by 2030. Conversely, the economy segment—bikes with engine capacities below 150cc—has been losing ground. Its market share fell sharply to 46 per cent in FY25, down from 62 per cent in FY19. Volumes in this category declined from 84 lakh units to 56 lakh units during the same period. Analysts attribute the decline to sustained weakness in rural demand and a steady increase in vehicle prices, which have made entry-level models less affordable for budget-conscious buyers. Interestingly, premium motorcycle sales not only recovered but also surpassed pre-pandemic levels by 22 per cent in FY25. In contrast, overall two-wheeler sales reached only 94 per cent of their pre-COVID volume, while total motorcycle sales touched 90 per cent. The findings underscore a broader trend of shifting consumer preferences across the Indian automotive landscape, where aspirational ownership and lifestyle upgrades are beginning to outweigh purely functional considerations, particularly in urban and younger demographics.

Premium bikes likely to account for 22% of two-wheeler market by 2030: Crisil

The Indian two-wheeler industry is witnessing a ride towards the premium segment, like other consumer sectors in the country, with the market share of premium motorcycles increasing to 19% last fiscal and expected to touch 22% by 2030, according to Crisil Intelligence. The market share of premium motorcycles - engine capacity greater than 150 cc - increased to 19% last fiscal from 14% in fiscal 2019, with their volume rising to 23 lakh units from 19 lakh units, it said in a statement. On the other hand, the market share of economy motorcycles declined to 46% last fiscal from 62 per cent in fiscal 2019, with volume shrinking to 56 lakh units from 84 lakh units, largely due to weak rural demand and an increase in prices, it added. Interestingly, premium motorcycle sales surpassed the pre-Covid level by 22% last fiscal, while sales of overall two-wheelers stood at 94% of the pre-pandemic level and total motorcycles at 90%, it added.

Premium motorcycles may account for 22% of total market by 2030: Crisil

The Indian two-wheeler industry is witnessing a ride towards the premium segment, like other consumer sectors in the country, with the market share of premium motorcycles increasing to 19 per cent last fiscal and expected to touch 22 per cent by 2030, according to Crisil Intelligence. The market share of premium motorcycles -- engine capacity greater than 150 cc -- increased to 19 per cent last fiscal from 14 per cent in fiscal 2019, with their volume rising to 2,300,000 units from 1,900,000 units, it said in a statement. On the other hand, the market share of economy motorcycles declined to 46 per cent last fiscal from 62 per cent in fiscal 2019, with volume shrinking to 5,600,000 units from 8,400,000 units, largely due to weak rural demand and an increase in prices, it added. Interestingly, premium motorcycle sales surpassed the pre-Covid level by 22 per cent last fiscal, while sales of overall two-wheelers stood at 94 per cent of the pre-pandemic level and total motorcycles at 90 per cent, it added. The market share of premium motorcycles is expected to climb to around 22 per cent by fiscal 2030. The improvement will ride on favourable macroeconomic trends, increasing disposable incomes, rising global exposure of consumers and a youthful demographic, Crisil Intelligence said. Commenting on the trend, Crisil Intelligence Director, Pushan Sharma said, "The demand-side spurs for premium motorcycles include a growing preference for these products from buyers with healthy incomes who maintained their purchasing power even during the pandemic." Shama further said, "On the supply side, it is the expanded range of options available to consumers. For the record, the number of motorcycle models available in the premium segment increased to 35 last fiscal from 23 in fiscal 2019. We anticipate these trends to persist through the next five years." On the decline of the economy segment motorcycles, Crisil Intelligence Associate Director, Mohit Adnani said, "Weak rural demand poses a major hurdle for entry-level motorcycles." Rural incomes have not increased much while there has been a steep 65-70 per cent hike in prices of economy models to pass on the increase in costs due to the transition from Bharat Stage (BS) IV to BS VI standards, implementation of safety norms, and the commodity super cycle, he added. "Thus, sales of these motorcycles recovered to only 67 per cent of the pre-pandemic level last fiscal," Adnani said.
