What is there in a thali?<\/span>
According to the Roti Rice Rate (RRR) report, a vegetarian thali comprises roti, onion, tomato, potato, rice, dal, curd, and salad. On the other hand, a non-veg thali has the same dishes as the veg thali, except for dal, which is replaced by chicken or any other meat.
What is the reason behind the rise?<\/span>
The report says that the surge in the cost of a vegetarian meal is due to rising vegetable prices, particularly of tomatoes, according to the Roti Rice Rate for July, an estimate of the cost of home-cooked meals by Crisil Market Intelligence and Analysis.<\/p>\n

As per the report, price of tomatoes rose in July after scanty rainfall. “7% out of the 11% rise in the cost of the veg thali can be attributed to only tomato prices, which have zoomed 55% on-month from (approximately) \u20b942 per kg in June to (approximately) \u20b966 per kg in July,” states CRISIL report.
If we go by the data, the cost of preparing a vegetarian thali in July rose to \u20b932.60 from \u20b929.60 in June, and that of a non-vegetarian thali to \u20b961.40 from \u20b958.
And as we analyse the costs, both costs for July 2024 were lower than those for July 2023, where a vegetarian thali cost \u20b934.10 and a non-vegetarian thali \u20b967.80.
It is also said in the report that prices of onions and potatoes also rose 20% and 16% respectively in July compared with the previous month.
On the contrary, the cost of a non-vegetarian thali rose at a slower rate than that of a vegetarian thali, because of the stable price of broiler chickens, which constitutes more than half the cost of a non-vegetarian thali.
