Telangana Rations Kingfisher Beer As Heineken Turns Off Taps Amid Price Row

Telangana Rations Kingfisher Beer As Heineken Turns Off Taps Amid Price Row

States in India, the world’s eighth-biggest alcohol market by volume, individually regulate pricing of alcohol products, which are major contributors to their tax revenue. Alcohol is bought by the state government and then supplied to shops in Telangana, where officials are rationing supplies to deter hoarding and tackle shortages, three retailers said. “Today we got a notification from our depot that there is no Kingfisher beer stock anymore,” Madhusudhan Rao, a liquor store owner in Hyderabad city, told Reuters on Monday. United Breweries, which brews the popular Kingfisher brand, last week cited delayed payments and a lack of government approval for higher prices since 2019/20, which had damaged its finances, for halting sales to Telangana.
