Hyderabad: Haleem manufacturers in Hyderabad plan to cut back on their seasonal business, because on the one hand IT companies are still following the ‘work from home’ model and on the other hand the threat of the second Covid-19 pandemic continues to linger.
According to a report in Telangana Today, the owner of Pista House and the president of the Hyderabad Haleem Makers Association, Mohd Abdul Majeed, said that in the coming Ramadan month, haleem will only be sold at Pista House stores and that temporary outlets will not be erected. He is making this decision in anticipation of the decline in demand for haleem in Hyderabad.
Haleem sales in Hyderabad may fall
Referring to the reason for the likely decline in sales of haleem in Hyderabad, he said that the demand for the delicacy of the IT corridor is likely to drop significantly as the businesses still follow the ‘work from home’ model.
Meanwhile, some of the restaurant owners expect an increase in the demand for parcels, because people do not choose to eat out due to the threat of coronavirus. However, with the increase in the demand for parcels, the cost of plastic containers will also increase.
One of the haleem manufacturers said they would encourage ‘take away’ concepts as it would ensure the safety of the public.
Haleem business in Hyderabad
It can be mentioned that usually about two thousand restaurants set up haleem shops in Hyderabad. It is not only a business but also a source of employment for many residents in Hyderabad.
The business is also leading to an increase in the number of orders on food delivery programs such as swiggy, zomato, etc. The increase in orders also increases the income of delivery boys.
