Excise duty increase across IMFL categories is in the range of 10% to 24%
CHANDIGARH: Liquor is set to get expensive from June 12 in Haryana with the excise and taxation department increasing the excise duty on Indian made foreign liquor (IMFL) and country liquor in the 2025-27 excise policy approved by the Council of Ministers on Monday. Consumers of mild and strong beer will also have to shell out more following an upward revision of the excise duty.
Officials said that liquor (both IMFL and country) and beer prices will see an increase also on account of an increase in their minimum retail prices (MRP). The state government has set an excise revenue target of ₹14,064 crore for 2025-26 fiscal.
As per the new excise policy which comes into effect from June 12, the excise duty for country liquor (50-degree proof) has been increased from ₹82 per proof litre to ₹91 per proof litre, a hike of 10.97%.
The duty for metro liquor (65-degree proof), a better variant of country liquor, has been increased from ₹95 to ₹106 per proof litre, an increase of 11.57%.
