Inflation woes – plight of tiffin walas

Inflation likely to touch double digit

Petrol / Diesel / Cooking Gas prices increased ….in June

New Delhi, April 11 (IANS) India’s annual rate of inflation hit a 41-month high of 7.41 percent for the week ended March 29, from 7 percent for the week before, on account of higher food and commodities prices.

Who do you think is the biggest sufferer for recent inflation? Is it households, businesses, Central Government ( It enjoyed fruits of growing economy so far without doing much for it)? Everybody is feeling the pinch of rising prices but our tribe, smaller hotels, restaurants and tiffin walas, have been heavily affected as a result of the recent price hike.

Just to put things in perspective, have a look at these numbers:

Rise (%) year to year
Vegetable prices	11.4
Edible oil	21.1

The LPG prices too, are constantly increasing. Last year the price for a commercial cylinder was Rs 700; this year it is Rs 1130. Rising gasoline prices have further added to our woes. It has been an everyday challenge to maintain quality with this steep price rise.
