In December 2025, Telangana saw the highest ever sales of liquor, reaching Rs 5,100 crore.

Officials believe that the variety of new liquor products and changing consumer tastes helped boost sales.
The government has set a big target for the last part of the financial year and is working to ensure that all liquor shops follow the rules.
They are also checking for any illegal sales to make sure everything is fair.

The highest single-day sales were Rs 375 crore on December 30, 2025.
The state generated Rs 330 crore from liquor sales on December 31, 2025.
