Bars in Kerala to renew liquor gross sales after Bevco slashes revenue share from 25% to 13%

By Express News Service
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Bars in Kerala will resume the sale of liquor after the Beverages Corporation (Bevco) slashed its revenue share from 25% to 13%.

Bevco’s revenue share was 8% when liquor bottle gross sales began at bars within the wake of the pandemic. After the second lockdown, Bevco had raised the revenue share for liquor equipped to bars to 25% and that for Consumerfed to twenty%. The revision was unacceptable for bar homeowners who determined to cease promoting liquor.

With bar homeowners resuming gross sales on Friday, the variety of liquor shops has risen to 906. Of these, 302 are run by Bevco and Consumerfed.
