Revised Price List of food in Parliament Canteen | Fusion - WeRIndia

The government decided to end the subsidy offered on food items in Parliament canteen. The revised price list will come into force from today onwards as the Budget session begins.

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla announced the decision saying that it would save more than ₹8 crores and help the Parliament to earn some profit.

Now, most of the food items are available at par with the market price. As per the revised price, the cheapest item is Chapati which costs ₹3 each.

While the vegetarian buffet costs ₹500, non-vegetarian buffet costs ₹700. It is the most expensive item on the menu.

Chicken Biryani costs ₹100 and Mutton Biryani costs ₹150. Cost of vegetarian meal is ₹100. Boiled vegetables are available for ₹50. While the mutton cutlet is available for ₹150, mutton curry is priced at ₹125. The mini thali costs ₹50. It has chapati, dry mixed vegetables, jeera pulao, dal Sultani, cucumber mini raita, green salad, and papad. The thali will cost ₹100 which includes some of the above food items. In addition to that, it has a dessert, curry, and Kadai paneer.

Cost of some other food items: Pakoda (both paneer and veg) ₹50, upma with chutney ₹25, kachori ₹14, samosa ₹10, khichdi ₹50, poori bhaji ₹50, and tea ₹5.

The price of all food items has been revised. However, the vegetarian items are still cheaper in the Parliament canteen than outside, says the Ashok Hotel management.

From now on, the Parliament canteen will be run by ITDC instead of Northern Railways. By taking over the operations from the Northern Railways, ITDC put an end to its 52 years legacy. Expert chefs of Ashok Hotel will cook and serve the food from now onwards.
