Telangana Whisky Price List: As someone who’s been reporting on regulation, business and consumer issues for more than 15 years, I know it can help to have information that’s up-to-date and accurate. So, in this post, I’ll give you a clear breakdown of the Telangana Whisky Price List for 2025. I will also talk about why the prices were increased and what to expect when you visit liquor shops in Telangana.

Telangana Whisky Price List Overview

• Vendors have raised their prices by ₹ 10 to ₹ 40 per bottle, depending on the size of the bottle.
• The re-introduction of Special Excise Cess (SEC) on IMFL and FL was the reason behind it.
• So for a 180 ml bottle, the SEC is ₹ 10; for bigger bottles, the cess rises proportionately.
• The government hopes to earn an additional ₹ 150-170 crore a month with this decision.

This hike has affected over 2,000 branded items in the entire state (MRP) of these commodities.

Why the Price Hike?

• The new measures were adopted by the excise department and Telangana Beverages Corporation Limited (TGBCL) to recover income.
• The cess, which has made a comeback, will add to the cost of IMFL and FL categories but not to ordinary spirits, beer or ready-to-drink (RTD) products.
• Suppliers were directed to supply old stocks with an MRP sticker stuck alongside the new price and retailers will have to display that list.

How to Read the Price List

Here are some Drunken ladruk how to read the Telangana Whisky Price List easy:

1. MRP is maximum retail price: This is the most a shop can legally charge for that bottle in Telangana.
2. (They don’t bottle all of it; after the festival, Che’s remaining batch will be donated to an ashram.)Bottle Sizes Matter: Smaller sizes (like 180 ml) are very common in Telangana shops; price hikes happen relative to bottle size.
3. Labeling: All new bottles after the May 2025 hike shall display the revised MRP.
4. Exemptions: Ordinary liquor, beer and RTD are not subject to his special excise cess, so their price hike is not uniform.

Why the Whisky Prices Vary So Much

• Whisky brands — from the local IMFL blends to premium Scotch — are aplenty in Telangana.
• Add to this the excise tax, import duty (in case of Scotch) and special cess are components that determine MRP.
• Positioning (premium vs ordinary) impacts how much the firm would contribute to that base price.
• Retail stores have varying stocking costs, but they sell at or below printed MRP.

Impact on Consumers

• The additional ₹10-40 spend per bottle may seem tiny but for regular buyers over time, that’s a big number.
• For infrequent drinkers, the price increase may not dramatically alter their behavior — but for those who drink a lot, it can add up.
• They should check the MRP on the bottle, if it is showing a lower or older price, they should be careful as stock may be old or wrong labelling is done.

Impact on Government Revenue

• The Special Excise Cess has been re-imposed by the Telangana government to increase state income through liquor sales.
• The estimated monthly incremental revenue would be around ₹150-170 crore.
• This, of course, amounts to a balancing act: One is raising revenue without overly burdening lower-cost liquor.

How to Use This Information

• If you are a buyer, the price list allows you to compare whisky brands and select the one that fits your budget.
• Also, if buying from your local wine shop, make sure that the MRP of the bottle is the same as what you are paying.
• And if they are quoting a price higher than the MRP, you can call the shop owner out on it or ask him for a copy of that list.
• For collectors, or for drinkers with a special love for whisky, it is useful to know the MRP — as it helps inform you if what you are shelling for a fine Scotch whisky in Telangana is from the right bottle.

Things to Be Careful About

• Ensure that the bottle is closed and displays proper MRP post 2025 hike.
• Do not buy from unlicensed shops: purchase only at the shops licensed by Telangana State Beverages Corporation (TGBCL).
• Look out for fakes: very inexpensive bottles of premium whiskey can be counterfeit.
• Note: stores may not always get to update all their old stock. And legally, they should take up the revised MRP and reflect it.

Final Thoughts

The Telangana whisky price list for 2025 reflects a careful recalibration by the government. By reinstating the Special Excise Cess, the state seeks more revenue while keeping the hike moderate (₹ 10–40) for consumers. As a result, popular whisky brands like 100 Pipers and 8 PM now come at slightly higher MRPs than before.
