Jharkhand Liquor Revenue Surges to ₹4013 Cr Amid Reforms

In a historic financial breakthrough, the Jharkhand Excise Department has recorded a revenue of ₹4,013.53 crore, shattering all previous records. The department surpassed its earlier benchmark of ₹2,700 crore, showcasing the effectiveness of the state’s new excise policy. Officials attributed this unprecedented growth to a combination of technological advancements and stricter enforcement against illegal trade. The introduction of a digital tracking system has allowed for real-time monitoring of liquor supplies and sales across the state, drastically reducing the scope for revenue evasion. Furthermore, the state government revised license fees and excise duties, which played a pivotal role in maximizing collections. The increase in transparency and competition among liquor shop operators has not only boosted the state’s income but also ensured a more regulated market. This record-breaking revenue will provide a solid foundation for various developmental projects across Jharkhand.
