Liquor sales worth approximately ₹3.9 crore were recorded in Guwahati on November 8 and 9 during the Diwali festivities, according to figures from the Assam Excise Department. The two-day total reflects significant liquor purchases across the city during the festive period.
According to the data, sales on November 7 were higher than those recorded on November 8, although the exact figures for November 7 were not immediately available. The latest numbers indicate a decline compared with corresponding Diwali sales reported in previous years. Guwahati recorded liquor sales worth ₹4.80 crore in 2024 and ₹6.20 crore in 2023.
No comparable data for 2025 was available, making a year-on-year assessment for the latest festive period difficult. The Excise Department figures cover liquor sales across Guwahati during the specified dates.
