The Telangana government is evaluating a proposal from breweries and distilleries to raise liquor prices in Hyderabad by up to 15%. This request comes as production costs have surged due to various factors, including global supply disruptions stemming from geopolitical tensions and a significant 40% drop in glass production, which has increased bottling expenses. This would mark the second price hike in a few months, following a previous 15% increase in February due to conflicts with United Breweries Ltd. The government is also considering a tiered pricing structure that would categorize price increases based on bottle size and brand type, potentially leading to differentiated hikes for budget and premium products. A final decision is anticipated in May, following a judicial committee's assessment of the proposal, which could generate an estimated ₹130 to ₹150 crore in additional monthly revenue for the state.
