Beer lovers will have to shell out more dough to have a chilled beer in Telangana now, with the Prohibition and Excise Department hiking the price by Rs 10 on all beer brands, except Khajuraho Super Strong beer.

The new rates will be in vogue with immediate effect. With the rise in the price, the government exchequer will be able to generate Rs 30 crore more per month. Principal Secretary (Excise) Somesh Kumar said the department had last revised the price in 2015.All wine shop owners were instructed to display the price list with old and new MRPs for consumer awareness.

Somesh Kumar said the new rates in the State were less when compared to the prices in Karnataka and Maharashtra and almost the same as in Andhra Pradesh.The State government accorded permission to Telangana Beverages Corporation Limited (TSBCL) to enter into the new rate contract agreements with beer suppliers for 2017-18, except for Khajuraho Super Strong beer, as per the tender committee report dated March 29, 2018.Further, the government has ordered to levy and collect from retail licencees a ‘special retail excise tax’. This is to avoid dual pricing of beer during the transition period.

According to a circular issued by the department, the TSBCL Managing Director had already instructed all chief managers and managers of IMFL depots to make arrangements for storing the stocks dispatched on or after May 22, 2018, in separate lots and not to mix them up with the existing lots under any circumstances.The stock of a particular brand received with the new MRP rates shall be delivered only after exhausting the stock of that particular brand having old MRPs.

Instructions issued for compliance — The retail licencees shall place fresh indents only for beer brands which are already exhausted. They shall submit such indents to Station House Officer (SHO) concerned specifying the brands to be purchased. The SHOs concerned on receipt of such indents shall certify the same. The retail licencees shall have to submit such certified indents to the chief managers and managers of IMFL depots for billing the required brands at revised rates.
