Kerala Corporation Pushes for Online Liquor Sales Despite Hurdles

Kerala Corporation Pushes for Online Liquor Sales Despite Hurdles

Kerala's liquor corporation, BEVCO, wants to sell alcohol online and deliver it to people's homes.

They hope this will bring in more money and make things easier for customers by reducing long lines at liquor stores.

Delivery platform Swiggy has offered to help.

To do this, the state needs to change some laws.

Although the state government has resisted in the past, BEVCO is hopeful.

BEVCO already makes a lot of money from liquor sales.

They will require buyers to be aged 23 or older.

There are legal obstacles to this, as well as some government opposition.
