Guwahati: Kamrup Metro experienced a notable increase in alcohol sales during this year’s Diwali celebrations, with total sales reaching Rs 4.80 crore. Typically, the district records around Rs 1 crore in daily alcohol sales, but festive occasions like Diwali result in a significant spike. However, this year’s sales represent a decline from 2023, when alcohol sales hit Rs 6.2 crore. Despite the drop, the figures still illustrate a strong demand for liquor during festive times. Additionally, it’s worth noting that starting September 2024, Assam plans to reduce alcohol prices, potentially affecting future sales figures.
