Bengalureans may soon find themselves compelled to enhance their culinary expertise, as the prices of dishes served at eateries, and restaurants are expected to rise in the near future. The surge in power tariffs and the cost of groceries and vegetables have prompted numerous establishments in Bengaluru to consider adjusting the prices accordingly in the first week.
“The price of regularly used groceries like toor dal, rice, chillies, and jeera have already gone up. With no guarantee of good rain this monsoon, prices of many other commodities may also go up. The Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) may increase the price of milk as there is a proposal, and the BWSSB also has proposed to increase the water tariff by a certain percentage. A meeting of our association is scheduled to happen on July 6, and we will have clarity on it by then,” said P.C. Rao, president of Bruhat Bengaluru Hotel Association.
