Thali prices in May: Home-cooked food slightly more affordable; relief in veggies and broiler prices
Home cooking became a bit cheaper in May as vegetable prices went down, the Roti Rice Rate report by Crisil Market Intelligence and Analytics said.
The report released on Thursday stated that the average price of a home-made vegetarian thali slipped to Rs 26.2 in May 2025, down from Rs 26.3 in April and Rs 27.8 in the same month last year.
The non-vegetarian version saw a steeper fall, dropping to Rs 52.6 from Rs 53.9 the previous month and Rs 55.9 in May 2024.
The report, quoted by PTI, reflected a big drop in the prices of everyday vegetables compared to last year, tomatoes fell by 29%, onions by 15%, and potatoes by 16%. These three staples are essential to most Indian meals.
Last year, these prices had surged due to crop issues, pest attacks, and water shortages in major producing states like Maharashtra, West Bengal and Karnataka.
In case of non-vegetarian thalis, the price went down due to the 6% drop in broiler chicken prices, which make up half the overall cost. The fall was driven by oversupply and weaker demand following bird flu reports in parts of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka.
The drop in thali prices would have gone up further but was offset by 19% increase in vegetable oil prices due to the rise in import duties and 6% increase in LPG costs.

Crisil intelligence director Pushan Sharma predicted a surge in vegetable prices going ahead driven by seasonal variations and a slight easing in prices of wheat and pulses amid strong domestic output.'
He further added that rice exports may also go up by 20–25% due to India's competitive pricing globally.
On a monthly basis, tomato and potato prices edged up by 10% and 3% respectively, while onions continued to ease with a 10% decline. Broiler prices also fell 4% from April, offering further savings for meat-eating households.

1 2 3 4 Aizawl: The state capital is set to join the national railway map with the Bairabi-Sairang rail line being operational by June or July due to the concerted efforts made by the Centre led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP's state executive member and vice-president of the party's Aizawl district K Vanlalruati said on Sunday.

Russia Drops Historic Super Fighter Bombshell For India; Know What Left America Stunned
New Delhi: Russia has put a game-changing offer on India's table – full access to the source code of its cutting-edge Su-57 stealth fighter jet. This is no longer about buying planes. Moscow is now offering New Delhi not only the supply of its advanced fifth-generation Su-57E fighter but also the complete software technology behind it, plus permission to build the aircraft domestically. This proposal comes as India is seriously weighing the purchase of America's F-35A stealth fighters, leaving the country at crossroads between two global powers. So, what makes Russia's offer so special? For starters, India would get complete access to the Su-57E's source code, allowing Indian engineers to integrate their own weapons and avionics systems. This means a massive boost to India's 'Make in India' ambitions, as the country can not only assemble but manufacture this stealth fighter on its own soil. India could equip the jet with indigenous missiles such as Astra, Rudram and other homegrown weaponry, customising it to its specific defense needs. On the other hand, America's F-35A is widely regarded as a technological marvel, but the United States remains protective of its secrets. India would only get a limited number of F-35 jets, with restricted access to their full capabilities and no software source code handed over. The deal with the United States offers political and strategic advantages, especially through alliances like the QUAD, but it falls short in terms of full technological empowerment. India now faces a high-stakes strategic dilemma. Russia has been a trusted defense partner for decades and is ready to hand over critical technology that can make India self-reliant in the skies. Meanwhile, the United States promises strong diplomatic ties and political support but with limited technological sharing. For India's military modernisation and future readiness, Russia's offer is tempting — full control, local manufacturing and complete sovereignty over an advanced stealth fighter. Choosing between these two giants is more than a procurement decision. It is also about India's long-term defense strategy and where it places its trust – in the tech-rich but cautious the United States or the open-handed yet traditional Russian partner. Whatever India decides will shape its military strength and geopolitical stance for decades to come.
