The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- TASMAC, Tamil Nadu's state liquor monopoly, will now procure beer and India Made Foreign Spirits Ordinary equally from all suppliers in the State, moving away from a system where liquor was bought from select manufacturers depending on which party was in power.
- The State has 11 distilleries and six breweries, and IMFS Ordinary covers brandy and rum.
- The change will be piloted at Elite Shops in seven locations, including Chennai, Coimbatore and Madurai zones, where malls will be supplied at least one case of every premium-category brand.
- Indents will be generated based on retail vending shop sales data instead of the depot formula, though industry watchers caution customers could be left with fewer choices if stock is allocated equally regardless of demand.
What to watch next
- Results of the equitable supply pilot at the seven Elite Shop locations
- Whether TASMAC extends the sales-data-based indent system beyond IMFS Ordinary and beer
- Industry and supplier reactions to reduced procurement flexibility
