In a record‑breaking week, Telangana’s liquor sales averaged 5,200 bottles per minute, the State Liquor Board reports.
The Telangana State Liquor Board announced that during the last week, the state’s liquor outlets sold an average of 5,200 bottles every minute. This figure translates to roughly 312,000 bottles per hour and over 7.4 million bottles in a 24‑hour period.
The high volume reflects the state’s large market and the popularity of its licensed retail network. The board noted that the surge was consistent across both urban and rural outlets, with no single location accounting for an abnormal spike.
Officials said the data is part of a routine weekly audit and is used to monitor sales trends and compliance. No irregularities or violations were reported in the audit.
The record is being highlighted by the board as a benchmark for future sales projections and to assess the impact of recent policy changes on alcohol distribution.
Industry analysts suggest that the figures could influence pricing strategies and inventory management for retailers across Telangana.
