Shooting oil prices have made food more expensive. And daily wagers who struggle to find work have less money to spare.

It was past 3 pm on Thursday when Manikchand Lohar ate his first meal – two parathas with a side of vegetables bought from a stall in Delhi’s Lajpat Nagar. The 50-year-old rickshaw puller had started work at 9 am, but he had barely made enough to pay Rs 30 for the plate of food, even though it was Rs 20 cheaper than at the stall he frequented earlier.

As he ate, Lohar worried about how to pay for his next meal. “There is so much mehengai [inflation] and no guarantee of what I earn in a day,” said Lohar, who is from Bihar and lives alone in Delhi. He usually sleeps at a night shelter in Lajpat Nagar. When there is no space there, he sleeps on the footpath. These days, his daily earnings rarely cross Rs 300, of which he spends Rs 150 on food and other essentials.
