Cost of home-cooked thalis declines in June (YoY) but edges up on month-to-month basis: Report
New Delhi [India], July 8 (ANI): The cost of home-cooked meals eased in June as compared to the same month last year, driven by a sharp correction in vegetable prices, according to the Crisil Intelligence report. In the monthly report titled 'Roti Rice Rate', the average cost of a vegetarian thali (Plate) declined by 8 per cent year-on-year (YoY), while the cost of a non-vegetarian thali was down nearly 6 per cent. The decline in vegetarian thali prices was primarily attributed to a significant drop in key vegetable prices, which had spiked the previous year due to adverse weather and crop diseases. The report added that tomato prices dropped 24 per cent YoY to Rs 32 per kg from Rs 42 a year ago, as last year's lower yields created a high base effect. Potato and onion prices also saw steep declines of 20 per cent and 27 per cent, respectively. In 2024, potato output had fallen by around 6 per cent due to blight infestations and erratic weather, while rabi onion production had shrunk by nearly 20 per cent owing to reduced acreage and yield, the report noted. However, despite the government's move to reduce basic customs duty on crude edible oils, vegetable oil prices surged 19 per cent YoY in June. Crisil Inteligence report says the benefit of reduced import prices is yet to be fully passed on to the consumers. Additionally, a 6 per cent YoY hike in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder prices tempered the overall drop in thali costs. For non-vegetarian thalis, the cost decline was aided by a 3 per cent YoY drop in broiler chicken prices, which account for nearly half the cost of a non-veg thali. However, the report observed that on a month-on-month (MoM) basis, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian thalis became costlier, up 3 per cent and 4 per cent, respectively, in June 2025. A sharp 36 per cent MoM spike in tomato prices, triggered by an 8 per cent decline in market arrivals, played a key role in driving up costs. Potato prices rose 4 per cent MoM, while onion prices remained stable. Meanwhile, broiler chicken prices increased by 5 per cent MoM, pushed by reduced poultry supply due to extreme heat, which impacted bird mortality and slowed growth rates. While the year-on-year trend offers some relief to households, the monthly uptick reflects continued volatility in food inflation, particularly in perishables and protein sources. (ANI)

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

Government to discontinue Bharat brand products as food prices stabilise
The government has decided to discontinue Bharat brand products as prices of essential food items such as wheat, rice and pulses have stabilised, with food inflation falling to 1.78% in April from 8.7% a year ago. With this, the Centre has made the Bharat brand, a label it launched in 2023 to provide food grains and other essential food items to the middle class at subsidised prices, a periodic tool for price stabilisation instead of a perennial product. "We have decided to discontinue the Bharat brand products as prices of all major food items have come down because of increase in production," said a senior government official from the consumer affairs, food and public distribution ministry, who did not wish to be identified. Retail stores owned by government agencies - National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED) and National Cooperative Consumers' Federation of India (NCCF) - have stopped selling Bharat Atta, Bharat Rice and Bharat dals in their stores. India has produced record rice, wheat and maize in the 2024-25 kharif season, according to the agriculture and farmers' welfare ministry's second advance estimates of production of major agricultural crops. Production of major pulses - tur, gram and lentils - has also gone up compared to the previous season, bringing prices under control. The forecast of a good monsoon during the June-September period has led to expectations of a robust production which will help keep prices under check. "There does not seem to be an immediate need to sell food at subsidised prices," the official said. The cost of home-cooked vegetarian and non-vegetarian thalis declined by about 6% each year-on-year in May, said ratings agency Crisil in its latest 'Roti Rice Rate' report. However, there is a possibility of launching the next phase of the brand in case prices go up in the future or if the government's procurement of a certain item increases, the official said.

Government to discontinue Bharat brand products as food prices stabilise
The government has discontinued the Bharat brand products, including subsidized wheat, rice, and pulses, due to stabilized prices and decreased food inflation. Increased domestic production of rice, wheat, maize, and pulses, coupled with a favorable monsoon forecast, has led to this decision. The Bharat brand may be reintroduced if prices rise again in the future. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Popular in Cons. Products 1.
