Kerala’s New Liquor Policy, Open to More Distilleries, Breweries

The Kerala government has announced that it would allow for the establishment of distilleries, breweries and spirit manufacturing units as to check import of liquor from other states. The new policy has several concessions for production and distribution of liquor, in the state’s bid to increase revenues from excise.

Under the new policy, now liquor sale can happen in industrial parks. In 2022-23, the Kerala government had allowed liquor permits in IT parks. Another concession it has granted is to give a special one-day permit on dry days. Hotels with three stars or more, along with heritage and classic resorts, now can apply for a one-day permit to serve liquor on the first day of the month for business meetings, international conferences, and other gatherings. No permission is granted on other dry days.

As per media reports, the government had granted permission to set up a liquor manufacturing centre in Elappully, Palakkad and a controversy had erupted. Now the government is planning to be lot more liberal in allowing breweries and distilleries across the state. The new liquor policy builds on the previous year’s guidelines of allowing the establishment of distilleries and units for manufacturing extra neutral alcohol (spirits).

Kerala in 2023-24 had generated a revenue of ₹31,618.12 crore from alcohol and sale of lottery tickets, accounting for one-fourth of the total revenue of the state. Revenue from alcohol sales amounted to ₹19,088.86 crore, making it the larger of the two main sources. Income from lottery sales was recorded at ₹12,529.26 crore. These figures combined account for approximately 25.4% of state’s total income.
