Mukesh Shah, who owns a farsan and sweet shop, said, “Sales have declined by a significant 35%. Shah quoted prices of Rs 1,440 per kg for fafda and Rs 1,620 per kg for jalebi. Due to inflation, there is a 12% increase in input costs, which includes not just raw material but also labour costs and that of cooking gas.
Inflation and higher production costs have put further pressure on purchases of these traditional festive favourites.
