Liquor prices in Gurugram have risen after shortages of popular brands in the national capital Delhi
Liquor prices in Gurugram have risen after shortages of popular brands in the national capital Delhi. The shortage of liquor in Delhi is due to the city’s controversial excise policy and the rejection of sale licenses for major companies. And the absence of major brands from Delhi’s liquor market has allowed retailers in Gurugram to raise prices.
According to a report by Hindustan Times, the liquor vendors have stopped offering discounts and offers as customers in Delhi have turned to Gurugram to purchase popular alcohol brands.
As per the HT report, a bottle of Jack Daniel’s, which sold for Rs 1,800 now goes for Rs 2,300. Similarly, Black Label has gone from Rs 1,800 to Rs 2,200, Jameson from Rs 1,200 to Rs 1,600, and Glenlivet 12 from Rs 2,900 to Rs 3,400.
Beer prices have jumped as well. A 330ml bottle of Kingfisher Premium, for instance, now retails for Rs 120, up from Rs 90, while Corona goes for Rs 200 instead of Rs 165.
