The company sells 6 crore boxes in a year
Beer Price Hike: A bad news has come for beer enthusiasts today. If you also drink beer, now you will have to pay 15 percent more price for every bottle of beer or can. Yes, the prices of beer have been directly increased by 15 percent. Increased beer prices have also been implemented from today. Not only this, the government has said in an order that from today, the sale of beer bottles and cans of old MRP will also be done according to the new rate. However, this latest increase in beer prices is not for everyone.
This state government decided to increase prices
Beer prices have been increased only in Telangana. That is, 15 percent more price will have to be paid to buy beer in Telangana. Let us tell you that United Breweries had closed their beer supply to Telangana Beverages Corporation Limited (TGBCL) last month. The company had given two reasons behind stopping the supply. The first reason was that TGBCL did not amend the basic price of the company’s beer from the financial year 2019-20. The second reason was that the company did not pay the money outstanding by TGBCL for the previous supply of beer. Due to both these reasons, the company had to stop the supply of its beer in Telangana as the company was suffering from the government’s attitude.
The company sells 6 crore boxes in a year
Let us tell you that United Breweries make beer of a famous brand like Kingfisher. Not so much, it is India’s largest beer company, which has a 70 percent share of the entire market. This company sells 6 crore boxes with 12 bottles of boxes across the country. In Telangana, the state government buys liquor from companies and supplies all shops. According to the Brucers Association of India, the price of beer in Telangana is around Rs 300 per box, while in Maharashtra it is around Rs 500. The consumer price in most states is 5-6 times higher due to the taxes of states and margins of retailers.
