Why Liquor Prices Are Increasing in Telangana
The liquor price hike in Hyderabad and Telangana is being driven by multiple factors:
- Global supply disruptions affecting raw materials
- Rising fuel and natural gas costs

Geopolitical tensions have further strained supply chains, making production costlier.
Glass Bottle Shortage Adds Pressure
One of the major reasons behind the Telangana liquor price hike is:
- Nearly 40% drop in glass production
- Around 20% increase in bottle costs
Distillery owners say they are unable to bear these costs and have requested a 12–15% price increase.

- Headed by a retired judge
- Reviewing price hike across different categories
- Final decision expected by May
Possible Price Structure

- 90 ml

- 375 ml
- 750 ml
- Categorized into:

Beer Prices Also Likely to Rise
The beer price hike in Telangana is also expected due to:
- 30% increase in summer demand
- 20% drop in supply
- Rising cost of aluminium cans and packaging
Experts warn that a shortage in beer supply cannot be ruled out if the situation continues.
Impact on Consumers
If implemented, the Telangana liquor and beer price hike will:
- Increase spending for regular consumers
- Impact sales in wine shops and bars
- Lead to possible supply shortages during peak summer
The expected Telangana liquor price hike and beer price increase in Hyderabad due to supply crunch and rising costs is set to affect consumers in the coming months. With demand rising and supply shrinking, the final decision by the government in May will be crucial.
