NRAI Goa members and IHCL properties are shifting to tandoors, sous-vide, electric cooking and chulhas, with menu price hikes flagged as piped gas rollout lags.

Goa F&B operators face Rs 3,150 LPG cylinders and doubled power bills due to Hormuz disruption. Restaurants are absorbing costs but plan price hikes, shifting to tandoors, sous-vide, electric cooking and chulhas while awaiting delayed piped gas.
