four-day liquor ban to result in a INR 300 cr loss for Karnataka.: The Bengaluru City District Liquor Traders Association
(BCDLTA) has communicated through a letter to election officials, expressing
concerns that the proposed 4-day liquor ban will result in significant losses
for the industry and a decrease in excise duty revenue for the State government.
The organization further emphasized that the ban coincides with Valentine’s
Day, a time when sales typically surge. This spike is largely driven by
Bengaluru’s sizable young demographic, known for frequenting restaurants and
pubs on this occasion, thereby boosting revenue by approximately 50 percent.
Approximately 3,700 establishments in Bengaluru will be impacted by this
measure.
