The cost of veg thali cooked at home declined 2% in November (on-month), as tomato prices declined 17% on-month, according to a report on Thursday.  

Tomato prices declined with fresh supplies from Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat in October, but lower arrivals in November capped further decline, according to the monthly report by CRISIL Market Intelligence and Analytics.

The rise in prices of vegetable oil, onion and potato by 4%, 4%, and 1% on-month, respectively, arrested further decline in thali cost.

“Meanwhile, potato and onion prices rose due to reduced supplies, with potato arrivals down 27% and onion arrivals down 28% on-month, preventing further decline in veg thali cost,” CRISIL Market Intelligence and Analytics’ Director-Research, Pushan Sharma, said.

“We expect prices of vegetables and pulses to stabilise from December as fresh supplies enter the market, providing some respite to the veg thali cost,” Sharma added.

On-year, the cost of home-cooked veg thali in November amid elevated tomato and potato prices rose 7%.

An 11% drop in fuel cost -- from ₹903 last year for a 14.2 kg LPG cylinder in Delhi to ₹803 currently -- prevented further increase in the thali cost.
