Just one year before the election, no one generally expects governments to hike prices of some commodities. But the ruling BJP government at the centre is busy making policies that are leading to hiking of Petrol and Diesel prices almost every day.
In all the major cities of India, petrol price has now touched 80 rupees mark and in Mumbai, it is almost 85 rupees per litre. While Narendra Modi’s government is taking on petrol this way, KCR led Telangana government has now given a go for beer hike in the state. Regular patrons of the chilled beer have to shed 10% more from today to sip beer in the hot summer.
A light beer of Kingfisher brand was earlier sold for Rs 90 and now it will cost Rs 100. Similarly, prices of other beers are also hiked by 10 t0 12 percent, while premium beer like Budweiser strong will be costing nearly 170 rupees. It’s heard that Telangana government will be making additional Rs 300 crore per annum through this hike while the current revenues from liquor are touching 1100+ crores every year.
Telangana is one of the highest beer consuming state in the country, followed by New Delhi, Kerala and Karnataka. State officials made it clear that the hike is a regular thing as part of the revision policy that is revised every two years.
