The Uttar Pradesh government has unveiled its excise policy for 2025-26, setting a revenue target of Rs 55,000 crore—Rs 4,000 crore higher than last year.

The policy introduces composite liquor shops selling beer, liquor, and wine from a single unit, with all liquor shops allocated via an e-lottery system.

State-owned wineries can operate one shop per district to sell wines made from local fruits, supporting farmers and local businesses. Two wineries are under construction in Bareilly and Muzaffarnagar to produce wine from guava and mango.

Premium retail shop licences will be renewed for Rs 25 lakh annually, with a cap of two per entity to prevent monopolies. Premium liquor outlets are banned in multiplexes and malls but allowed in airports, metro, and railway stations with approval.

The policy also simplifies obtaining a personal residence licence for higher liquor storage, charging Rs 11,000 annually with an additional Rs 11,000 as a security deposit.
