For a family of five, the monthly thali cost jumped up from Rs 4,700 in 2015 to Rs 6,700 in 2022 for a lighter diet.

Inflation, particularly food inflation, has been centre stage not just in India but globally. Despite moderation observed in India’s June 2022 inflation print, food inflation continues to stay in the uncomfortable zone of 6 to 8 per cent since the start of the year. How does this high food inflation impact an average Indian? We use a simple metric to estimate this: How much does it cost an average Indian to have one homemade thali of food?

This concept of thali cost builds on the ‘Thalinomics’ chapter from the Economic Survey (ES) of 2019-20. Then-CEA Dr Krishnamurthy Subramanian estimated the price of a thali for an average Indian. We use the same concept and bring to you its current estimates.

Constructing a thali

Following the Economic Survey, we define a typical vegetarian thali as per the National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) 2011 guidelines. According to which, a thali that an average Indian should be consuming consists of: cereals (rice and wheat), vegetables (potato, onion, tomato as staple veggies, and brinjal, cabbage, lady finger and cauliflower as seasonal veggies), pulses (gram, arhar, masur, mung and urad), spices (turmeric, dry chillies, salt and coriander) and vegetable oils (mustard, coconut and groundnut). In addition to the cost of these items, a thali price includes the cost of fuel for cooking.
