Cost of home-cooked thalis declines in June (YoY) but edges up on month-to-month basis: Report

Home-cooked meals became more affordable in June compared to last year, primarily due to significantly lower vegetable prices, according to Crisil Intelligence. Vegetarian thalis saw an 8% year-on-year price drop, while non-vegetarian thalis decreased by nearly 6%. However, month-on-month, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian thalis became costlier, driven by rising tomato and broiler chicken prices, indicating ongoing food inflation volatility.
