Homecooked food gets cheaper! Per-plate thali price levels drop as inflation cools: Report

Home-cooked thali prices in India saw a significant drop in October, with vegetarian options down 17% and non-vegetarian by 12% year-on-year. This decline was primarily fueled by a sharp fall in vegetable and pulse prices. While cooking oil and LPG costs rose, the overall affordability of meals improved, reflecting broader retail inflation trends.
