Prices of basic sources of protein like meat, eggs, pulses, and cooking oils have zoomed up, as has the cost of cooking gas.

Prices of some essential food items have jumped up steadily over the past few months causing devastation of nutritional levels of families and denting already stressed budgets. Adding to this misery is the inordinate hikes in cooking gas prices which have sky-rocketed by 46% since subsidies were all but scrapped in May 2020.

While cereals and vegetables prices remained moderately stable as rabi harvest flowed in, certain key groups of food items have been on fire, as shown in the chart below. Data is from the Consumer Price Indices database maintained by the ministry of statistics. 

Most of the commonly eaten pulses – arhar or tur, moong, masur and urad – have suddenly increased by 13% to as much as 23% in the first five months of 2021. All types of meat and fish, and eggs have increased since January this year – chicken showing the highest jump of 33% while mutton and pork increased by 23%.
