TASMAC adds ₹10 environmental cess to liquor sales in Tamil Nadu
What happened
TASMAC, the state-owned alcohol sales monopoly in Tamil Nadu, introduced a new environmental and social welfare cess on liquor sales. Starting November 1, consumers in Tamil Nadu will pay ₹10 more for every liquor bottle sold through TASMAC. This cess has been integrated into the Maximum Retail Price (MRP) and applies to all liquor varieties, including beer and wine.

Why it matters
The change increases the retail price for consumers in Tamil Nadu. The new cess is incorporated into the printed MRP, shifting how the ₹10 fee is collected. This action generates additional revenue for the Government of Tamil Nadu.
