A kilogram of pistachios that cost around Rs 1,100 last Diwali is now selling for nearly Rs 2,000, while the same Rs 10,000 budget that bought a consumer around 5 kg of dry fruits last year now fetches barely 4 kg. With prices of several nuts and dry fruits climbing sharply, consumers are increasingly adjusting quantities rather than spending more, putting pressure on a category that has traditionally benefited from rising incomes.
