Starting next month, the price of beer in Telangana will go up. This change comes as part of the government’s regular review of prices paid to beer production centers, known as breweries.

What Will Change?

Current and New Prices:

  • Right now, the government buys beer from breweries at ₹24.08 per unit.
  • The new price will increase by ₹10-12 per unit.
  • This increase is less than the ₹20-25 hike that breweries had asked for.

Impact on Consumers

When beer reaches the consumer, its price will be higher. Currently, light beer costs around ₹150 per bottle in stores. This price includes various costs such as taxes and distribution expenses.

Reason for the Increase

Every two years, the Telangana government reviews the prices it pays to breweries to account for rising production and operational costs. The last price increase was in May 2022. This adjustment ensures breweries can cover their costs without putting too much burden on consumers.

Government’s Goal

The government aims to find a balance with the new prices. They want to support breweries by helping them cover increased costs, while also keeping the price increase small enough so that it doesn’t significantly affect sales or burden consumers too much.

Conclusion

From next month, beer in Telangana will cost a bit more. The government hopes this new pricing will support the breweries and ensure that beer remains available in the market without becoming too expensive for consumers.
