BusinessRising Inflation Increases Cost of Home-Cooked Meals in September
According to Crisil's monthly Roti Rice Rate report, the cost of preparing a vegetarian meal at home rose by 10% year-on-year in September, driven by higher prices of onions, edible oil, rice, and LPG. The cost of a vegetarian meal increased to ₹30.8 from ₹28.1, while a non-vegetarian meal rose 6% to ₹59.5. Onion prices surged 89% due to lower Rabi stocks and reduced production. Delayed Kharif sowing and low rainfall contributed to supply concerns, with further price hikes expected in early October due to festive demand.
