Telangana to promote neera, issue microbrewery licenses

The Telangana government is planning to promote neera, a sap from palm trees, as a healthy drink through star hotels.

They want to make sure it's good quality and available to more people.

At the same time, they are giving out licenses to set up small breweries that make beer.

They have received many applications for these licenses, mostly from big cities.

The government wants to support traditional jobs while also helping the hospitality industry grow.

They will give out the licenses next month, and the new breweries will have six months to start operating.
